Set within Antler Hill Village at Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, Antler Hill Barn is a private event venue with deep agricultural roots. Designed in 1900 by Biltmore House architect Richard Morris Hunt, the barn once served as the hub of the estate's farming operations, stabling workhorses and mules, storing feed and equipment, and housing a blacksmith's forge and repair shop within a landscape of dairy, market garden, sheep, poultry, and pigs.

Nestled beneath a forested hillside and overlooking pastoral fields and the French Broad River, it offers a bucolic setting near the estate's Winery and The Inn on Biltmore Estate.
