A Visit to Biltmore
On Monday, I shared a little about our time in the cute little town of Sylva, NC. Today I want to tell you about our trip to the big house!
The Biltmore Estate is the largest home in the country and is located in Asheville. Built in 1895, it sits on 8,000 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Biltmore was built by the Vanderbilt family and is still family owned. The house itself is over 176,000 square feet with 250 rooms 65 fireplaces, and 3 kitchens. Because who doesn’t need 3 kitchens?!
Our Trip to Sylva, NC
Last week, Charles and I took a trip to the western part of the state. I had a board meeting in Sylva, NC on Friday, so we decided to make a little getaway out of it. After spending the day in Sylva on Friday, we headed to Asheville to tour the Biltmore Estate on Saturday. It was the perfect little reprieve from our crazy busy lives, and just what we needed!
Sylva is located between the Blue Ridge Mountains and Smokey Mountains, about an hour west of Asheville. Downtown Sylva has so much more to offer than I ever would have guessed!
Quotable Friday
Happy Friday, friends! I’ve been a little MIA this week, but don’t worry…next week I’ll be sharing a virtual (and narrated) tour of our house. So get ready, and have an awesome weekend!
Luxury Real Estate in Rio
Have you been watching the Summer Olympics in Rio so far? We binged over the weekend and caught a little bit of everything…soccer, basketball, swimming, ping pong, field hockey, and more! But not everything at the Olympics has been glamorous so far.
You’ve probably heard that the athlete accomodations at the Rio Olympics leave something to be desired, but there’s still plenty to love when it comes to real estate in this Brazillian city!
