Raton
Casa Grande
Raton, NM, United States
If size matters, look no further than Ted Turner's 591,000-acre Vermejo Park Ranch (it's two-thirds the size of Rhode Island). The property contains two main lodges (available April through November), but you can also choose to stay at Turner's intimate eight-bedroom Casa Grande (at least, when he's not there). Spend the afternoon fishing in one of the 21 trout-filled lakes or hunting for mule, deer, elk, and bison. Then end the day watching the wildlife from the ranch's sweeping veranda as the sun fades into the Sangre de Cristo mountain range.
