Asheville On Line-Daily

If you mean what it is worth, it was estimated to have cost around 10 million dollars to build (in 1895 dollars, that’d be around $230 million today), however, after becoming on the National Registry, a substantial investment in detailed and historically accurated restoration along with a Disneyesque management style, the 255-room “American Castle” grosses 100 million dollars a year in revenue. So it would cost quite a bit!

If you mean what it costs to visit, you’ll pay $45 just to get in, and is a wimpy self-guided tour. If you want a guide or want to see some of the more exotic parts of the mansion such as the rooftop or the bowling alley or the laundry rooms, you’ll have to pay a whole lot extra. With food, additional tours and maybe a gift for Grandma at home, expect to pay around 100 bucks a person.

And no Mikey Mouse anywhere!
