With a backdrop of expansive golf course views, the grounds of one of the Biltmore area’s grandest estates include elegant pool and spa pavilions, a complete outdoor kitchen and full bar and dance floor. Designed in the French parterre style with spiraled junipers, hybrid tea roses and trellised jasmine—and accented with stately date palms—this landscape has been the site of legendary parties, epic fundraisers and unforgettable events. Private enclaves and raised garden beds add charming notes.
