Most Expensive Home in Oregon

Oregon — Y Bell Ranch, $33 Million

You can easily buy a luxury ranch and never bring cattle or horses on the property. That likely won’t be the case for the future owners of Y Bell Ranch, a property that comes with everything you’ll need to make livestock feel right at home—plus an 8,800-square-foot home for you and yours. Located in Powell Butte, an area smack in the middle of Oregon that’s named for its proximity to the Powell Buttes mountain range, the parcel is 435 acres in total. Attached to the single-story main residence is a 9,200-square-foot trophy room for the hunter in the family, and elsewhere in the property is a nine-stall barn with a tack room and just about everything else you’d need to properly care for horses. You won’t need to lift a finger, though, as a nearby 3,000-square-foot ranch manager’s house can easily house additional help

Most Expensive Home in Rhode Island

Rhode Island — Seaward, $37 Million

Newport, known as a playground for the well-heeled, is busting at its shorelines with magnificent mansions. But even among that set, Seaward stands out. The 7,000-square-foot home has a whopping 45 acres of land to its name, with a separate, 3,000-square-foot guest house elsewhere on the property. It has the look of a classic waterfront home, with outdoor porch space aplenty for al fresco dining, games of cards and large gatherings, plus a seaside infinity pool. The stone home is strategically built so the owners can enjoy both sunrises and sunsets—49 windows throughout the main home promise that you won’t miss a moment of either.

The estate was previously owned by Tennis Hall of Fame cofounder Jimmy Van Alen. A fire destroyed the place in 1976, and it was all but left to rot until 2004 when the current owner purchased and rebuilt it. Yet for all the effort that went into it, the home has struggled to find a buyer. It’s been on and off the market since 2013, when it was originally listed for $45 million. Its $37 million price tag would still soundly break a record for Rhode Island—the most expensive home sold in the state went for $18 million—but it may take a few more price cuts before it gets there.

Most Expensive Home in South Carolina

South Carolina — Flyway Drive, $20 Million

Kiawah is home to luxury oceanfront homes and golf courses (both public and private) aplenty, so it follows that South Carolina’s most expensive home would be on the affluent island. The Flyway Drive address is a beach house through and through, with a private boardwalk leading to the nearby sandy shores. A sublime location, to be sure, but the house itself is equally impressive. The 10,500-square-foot, nine-bed, nine-bath home is bright and open, with plenty of room for guests and windows that let the light in. There’s a pool just outside, as well as a back garden. And, like the rest of the tony enclave, it’s not far from the main thoroughfare, and it’s only about 25 miles from Charleston.

South Dakota — Indian Springs Ranch, $6 Million

Few hunting properties offer as much bang for your buck as South Dakota’s most expensive listing, which makes up 2,700 acres of land priced at just $6 million. Dubbed Indian Springs Ranch for its adjacency to the Indian Springs Lake, the area has plenty of opportunities for outdoor pursuits. There’s the lake itself for one, which is a sought-after fishing destination for the strong populations of walleye and northern pike. The region is also known for waterfowl hunting—there are mallards, pintails, widgeon aplenty. And the estate claims to have one of the best wild pheasant populations anywhere. There’s a great residence for kicking back after a long day of hunting, too: The five-bedroom, four-bathroom main lodge overlooks one of the property’s private lakes.

Most Expensive Home in Tennessee

Tennessee — Carters Creek Pike, $18.5 Million

Many deluxe properties will let you stake your claim to hundreds of acres worth of land—but precious few of them include historic homes. Tennessee’s most expensive listing, an $18.5 million offering just outside of Franklin (home to one of the state’s most charming downtown areas, just south of Nashville), has just that, courtesy of a circa-1800 residence on the estate’s 622 acres of land. And that’s just one of the many buildings that dot the rolling, green landscape: other structures include a restored log house, two guest cabins, homes for caretakers and a 12-stall barn. Rest assured, though, that while there’s plenty of historic charm, the residences don’t skimp on modern amenities like central air, refrigerators, dishwashers and the like—so it’s not a total fixer-upper. And while you’ll have your own slice of land out here, it’s not too far away from Nashville or other splashy and storied digs: The home is just a 15-minute drive from Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s old digs, which sold two years ago for $2.7 million.

Most Expensive Home in Texas

Texas — Mesa Vista Ranch, $220 Million

The nation’s largest (and most expensive) ranch property is in Texas. No surprise there. Mesa Vista Ranch is indeed a sprawling property with truly jaw-dropping numbers: 65,000 acres of land in the Eastern Texas Panhandle and a 33,000-square-foot main residence—all 85 miles from the closest town, Amarillo. It’s the pet project of former owner and financier T. Boone Pickens, who spent 50 years transforming the land into the ginormous playground that it is today. Pickens created man-made streams and introduced new conservation practices to bolster the property’s pre-existing wildlife population. Amenities are creatively sprinkled throughout the landscape, including a two-story pub, a freestanding gun room, an 11,000-square-foot dog kennel with 40 pens and a veterinary lab, an airport hangar and even a chapel. Boone Pickens added a lake house to the place as well: an 11,500-square-foot home with pristine water views. And the listing claims that estate is essentially turnkey, as it includes all of the businessman’s pickup trucks, hunting vehicles, farming equipment and furnishings—and even his bird dogs. The cows and the artwork (yes, those were grouped together) can be purchased separately.

Utah — Mills Estate, $22 Million

Utah’s most expensive property is a sprawling estate near the teensy town of Leeds. Fully fenced off, the 620 acres of land contains three separate homes, as well as a livestock corral. There’s also a handful of cabins on the property, all of which are designed in a rustic style that evokes the spirit of the Wild West. And you can easily create an old Western town of your own here too, or a fully operational farm: Mills Estate is zoned as both a residential and an agricultural property, so the decision is up to the future owner. There’s certainly plenty of space for either.

Vermont — Mountain Meadows, $12 Million

Vermont’s most expensive listing represents a rare opportunity to snap up 100 acres in Stowe, which is arguably one of the best mountain towns in all of New England, with great skiing in winter and scenic golf courses and hiking trails in summer. The property, dubbed Mountain Meadows, is just minutes away from the best slopes. On the estate is a 14,000-square-foot home, an outdoor pool, a garage and a two-bedroom caretaker’s apartment. Between these living spaces, the property has 14 bedrooms and 16 bathrooms. It’s as much a snowy mountain retreat as it is an investment property though, as there’s opportunity to develop the land into a resort. Private schussing, anyone?
