The Waggoner Ranch in Texas was on the market for $725 million. The final selling price paid by billionaire Sam Kroenke is not known.

There are more than 100 different properties that cover the estate, which itself is half-a-million acres in size.

It is the largest single-fenced ranch in the United States and stretches across six different counties.

The estate itself has stayed in one family, the Waggoners, for its entire 166-year history.

Waggoner Ranch is no stranger to horse play of all kinds from reining ...

... to polo matches that used to be more of a feature in the early 20th century.

The sale is being overseen by Bernard Uechtritz, a Papua New Guinea-born Australia who relocated to Texas.

Waggoner Ranch has a rich history. Among its more illustrious visitors was the former American president Theodore Roosevelt (center).

Even the animals are famous. Esteemed shire horse Poco Bueno, the first horse insured for $100,000, worked there and was buried standing fully upright at the behest of the Waggoner family.

Famed Comanche chief Quanah Parker has also been pictured on the ranch.

A total 25% of the mineral rights will remain in the possession of the current owners.

There are more than 100 properties on the estate.

There is enough water in one lake alone on the property to source the 105,000-strong population of nearby Wichita Falls.

Such is the vast expanse of land, a helicopter tour of the property takes an hour and 45 minutes.

From the Waggoner family to part of the Kroenke empire. The billionaire businessman described the property as "a true Texas and American landmark."
