Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | The King Ranch is just beautiful, I'm one of the lucky ones that got to get on the ranch alot while growning up, My Uncle Tom built alot of their cement water tanks and built steps inside of them so when the calfs fell in they could get out, as young girls me and my best friend would go with him alot and swim in the tanks while he built them, so much fun.. We did alot of 4-H horse club judging there and other fun events back in my 4-H days, gone on their trail rides.. You can tour the Ranch too. Its just huge its 911,215 acres of pure ranch and the cattle and horses, well you will forget them, they have a King Ranch Saddle shop in Kingsville Texas that is super high dollar but neat as heck to go threw..   |

They also own land in FL. Mainly sod farms. I believe the Mormon Church is also in the top 10. |

I just resently saw the top one hundred and was amazed at what the top owners were. In my mind I always think ranch & farm land. It's timber. |
