After more than four years on the market, Tom Ford’s sprawling New Mexico estate has finally found a buyer. The property, better known as the Cerro Pelon Ranch, sits just outside Santa Fe in the Galisteo Basin area, and measures a whopping 20,662 acres. — Architectural Digest
The home features the Silverado Movie Town, which is built on the site in the 1980s, writes Joyce Chen for Architectural Digest. The set was originally used for the Western film Silverado, and later for films including 2011's Thor.
As we reported four and a half years ago, when the property was first listed, Cerro Pelon Ranch had construction oversight provided by LA firm Marmol Radziner.
"Built by award-winning architect Tadao Ando, the main house sits low to the earth over an expansive reflecting pool, with a wide walkway cutting across the water," writes Chen.

Why was it put up for sale? If I spent tens of millions, it would be a pretty big decision to sell.
Ford bought a Paul Rudolph designed townhouse in NYC for $18 million and is now restoring it, so he may be focused on working on that these days. I imagine the expense of staffing and maintaining that ranch year round could be pretty major.
So don't build a playground for the ultra wealthy that you don't care enough about to keep.
Ford wouldn't be the only rich person that builds, then gets tired of, and then sells fabulous dream homes in a serial way. The money involved and quality of architecture here is way above average, though.
You're right. Ford isn't the only selfish rich person in the world.
