Zealandia, Tudor Revival mansion on Beaucatcher Mountain, Asheville, United States.

The three-story residence features steep gables, massive chimneys, heavy wrought iron entrance gates, and a porte cochere with mountain views.

John Evans Brown constructed the initial mansion in 1889 after returning from New Zealand, naming it Zealandia after his time spent abroad.

Sir Philip Henry commissioned a dining room mural in 1919 depicting family members in classical robes, following fifteenth-century Italian painting styles.

Located at 1 Vance Gap Road, the property remains closed to public access while maintaining its status on the National Register of Historic Places.

The mansion includes pebbledash-on-brick enclosure patterns modeled after Haddon Hall in England, with architectural elements from medieval design.

Location: Asheville

Architectural style: Tudor Revival architecture
