Drive by that place at least once a year and never have talked myself into stopping.
It is actually worth it. All the houses are worth it. Just to see how they lived back then. The .00001 percent that is.

Little known fact: The Latin motto inscribed over the front door at Biltmore translates to “Go be poor somewhere else.”

I’ve just never talked the family into it when we pass. I like history so if I ever passed by myself, I’d stop for sure.
 
If you have already taken a house tour I suggest the back lot tours. The guides are very knowledgeable and the infrastructure and background is pretty amazing.
The land was pretty worthless because of deforestation and erosion.

I've been to every house except the "NYC Brownstone..."

The best of them is Hyde Park. It's also the smallest. That doesn't mean it isn't amazing... so much quality. But it is... small. Subtle. Quality throughout. Great innovations in its 'powerplants.'

Owned by the 'only' Vanderbilt heir who increased his fortune. He was a farmer. A breeder of animals and fruit/crops. He lived a very quiet and 'normal' life as a pillar in his (agricultural) community. Was a bit of a miser. His house was... not ordinary. But also not over the top. It is a stunning place.

If I could have any of the Vanderbilt homes... it would be the Hyde Park one. It's what Schloss Nitrocellulose would be if I had Vanderbilt money. Or at least wanted to spend Vanderbilt Money.

My daughter went to visit some friends and took my grandson. She sent this, said as soon as he got in the room, he stripped and got in the bed to watch TV 😂

He’s literally me 😎

So he is watching PornHub? Is that healthy at his age?

Well, look at the smile…
