the estate today covers approximately and is split in half by the french broad river. the estate is overseen by the biltmore company, a trust set up by the family. the company is a large enterprise that is one of the largest employers in the asheville area. restaurants were opened in 1979 and 1987 as well as four gifts shops in 1993. the former dairy barn was converted into the biltmore winery in 1985. the 210-room inn on biltmore estate opened in 2001, and in 2010, the estate opened antler hill village, as well as a remodeled winery, and connected farmyard.

earlier models suggested the existence of long-lived nuclear isomers resistant to spontaneous fission in the region near ubh, with half-lives on the order of millions or billions of years. however, more rigorous calculations as early as the 1970s yielded contradictory results; it is now believed that the island of stability is not centered at ubh, and thus will not enhance the stability of this nuclide. instead, ubh is thought to be very neutron-deficient and susceptible to alpha decay and spontaneous fission in less than a microsecond, and it may even lie at or beyond the proton drip line. a 2016 calculation on the decay properties of ubh upholds these predictions; the isotopes lighter than ubh (including ubh) may indeed lie beyond the drip line and decay by proton emission, ubh will alpha decay, possibly reaching flerovium and livermorium isotopes, and heavier isotopes will decay by spontaneous fission. this study and a quantum tunneling model predict alpha-decay half-lives under a microsecond for isotopes lighter than ubh, rendering them impossible to identify experimentally. hence, the isotopes ubh may be synthesized and detected, and may even constitute a region of increased stability against fission around "n" ~ 198 with half-lives up to several seconds.
