About Biltmore Village

Biltmore Village is the historic 1890s village George Vanderbilt built at the entrance to the Biltmore Estate, designed by Richard Sharp Smith with English-Cotswold half-timbered cottages and tile-roofed retail buildings. The village is now a walkable shopping, dining, and residential district immediately adjacent to the 8,000-acre Biltmore Estate — America's largest privately-owned home. Surrounding 1900s–1930s Tudor and Cotswold-style homes feature the original clay-tile and slate roofs typical of the village's English design vocabulary. Roofing here is a specialized heritage market.
