Biltmore Farms, LLC

A diverse company devoted to thoughtful growth and the economic well-being of our mountain home, Biltmore Farms, LLC has been a community leader in Western North Carolina for over a century. Founded by George W. Vanderbilt in 1897, today, Biltmore Farms, LLC continues his legacy of quality across all the company’s divisions: Biltmore Farms Commercial, Biltmore Farms Communities, Biltmore Farms Homes, and Biltmore Farms Hotels. Biltmore Farms has evolved from the region’s largest independent dairy operation to a preeminent community development firm. Today, Biltmore Farms continues its reputation of regional leadership through forward-thinking accomplishments such as the creation of Biltmore Park Town Square, the largest and most diverse mixed-use urban village in Asheville. Our company has designed some of the region’s most beautiful and viable master-planned communities. We are committed to preserving the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains through our community involvement and business practices, including the construction of the Hilton Asheville Biltmore Park, the first new construction LEED-certified Hilton hotel in the country, featuring a large-scale rooftop solar water heating system. In addition, Biltmore Farms’ portfolio of nationally award-winning hotels carries on the Vanderbilt tradition of gracious hospitality.
