This Week’s Most Expensive New Listings Offer Amazing Amounts of Land

Two ginormous ranches rule this week’s most expensive new listings on realtor.com®. A $45 million, 14,000-acre ranch in California tops the list—and in case you can’t fathom the acreage, it’s 22 square miles. Manhattan is only a shade bigger at 22.82 square miles. So this ranch, located in Carmel Valley, due west of Monterey Bay, could almost be considered a miniature city (complete with a private airstrip) unto itself. Minus the hot dog vendors.

If 14,000 acres is just a bit too much for your mind to handle, you could opt for this week’s runner-up: a not-exactly-modest 8,000-acre ranch in Colorado for $39.8 million. It’s billed as a “four-seasons sportsman’s paradise,” but we’re most intrigued by what the place is like in winter. Why? Because it comes with its own private ski slopes, snowmobile trails, sledding hills, and ski cabin!

While the rest of this week’s priciest five aren’t quite as huge as the top two, there’s still plenty of room to roam. They include a 64-acre spread in New York’s Westchester County and a 40-acre property in the Dallas metro. And if you can’t bear the thought of maintaining all that land, there’s an acre-and-a-half option along the beach in Malibu. For you self-effacing types.

Spread out and meander around this week’s priciest new listings.
