Fay Ranches recently sponsored The Land Report Top 100,
chronicling the properties and personalities of the largest private landowners
in the United States. Personally,
the stories of the individuals are just as, if not more interesting than the
properties they own.
This report is somewhat of an insider’s contemporary history
of America, and definitely worth a read.
At the top of the list is John Malone owning 2.2 million acres, a
landmass the same size as Yellowstone National Park.
Beyond the sheer grandeur of these properties, the article
also outlines the exemplary stewardship and conservation of the many
landowners.
Names of note:
#7 King Ranch:
Legendary American ranching family that Ford Motor Co. named their
flagship pickup truck line after.
#11 The Ford Family
#14 The
Waggoner Estate: Largest ranch
under one fence.
#52 Tim
Blixseth: Founder and former owner of The Yellowstone Club.
#63 The Hearst
Family: Inspiration for Citizen
Kane’s Xanadu.
#71 Gerald Ford
(38th President)
