I used to go thru Biltmore Castle

They were also clients in Asheville

They have a winery, dairy, fantastic rose(+) gardens, ice cream shop

The stables/paddocks are semi-attached to the main building
Carriages drove under a roofed area to drop them off in comfort

Commodore Vanderbilt brought over a German forester to set up "The Cradle of Forestry" in Pisgah Forest where the first Rangers were taught and set up a forestry school up in the mountains

Port Cochere it was called although I'm not sure of the spelling. Impressive, what all they had. I would enjoy seeing the castle.
