1An authentic Californian ranch

Marlena Shaw sang about 'California Soul' and this Santa Barbara equestrian ranch beautifully encapsulates all that is great about the Golden State.

Accompanied by numerous dramatic equestrian structures, water wells and seasonal running streams, Ranch Latigo is a real haven for lovers of the great outdoors. It boasts polished tennis facilities, and allows for hours of riding the rolling hillsides, while you can finish your days with breathtaking wine country sunsets.

A helipad offers a conveniently modern touch, with access to Los Angeles and beyond, and in between hacking adventures you can take a dip in the pool or workout in the gym.

This property is listed for sale with American Farm & Ranch via Rightmove for $39,995,000.

2A bulletproof (literally) New York townhouse

Weve all rushed to check the backdoor is locked after watching a scary film, but imagine how safe youd feel settling down on movie night knowing that your pad is a bulletproof fortress?

Thats the unique selling point of this plush New York townhouse; a complex feat of impressive engineering has resulted in the construction of a grandiose, Herculean-strength glass faade.

The glass, which travelled from Germany to Spain where it was given its characteristic curved shape, was later laminated multiple times, while the seven-storey structure itself is a crescendo-building property where each floor becomes increasingly more spectacular.

The pice de rsistance, however, is the private roof deck with 360-degree views across that iconic city skyline. What better place to enjoy some Friday night cocktails with your pals?

This property is listed for sale with Sphere Estates via Rightmove for $50,000,000.

3The villa that helped catapult One Direction to stardom

Often referred to as the most luxurious villa on Spains Costa del Sol, Villa Moana is truly a jewel nestled in the heart of paradise. It also played a starring role in One Directions pursuit of global pop domination.

Enjoying stunning 180-degree ocean views, this sprawling home sits idyllically among 7,000 square metres of beautifully landscaped gardens and was Simon Cowells filming location for the judges houses on the 2010 series of The X Factor.

Villa Moana has previously welcomed royalty, presidents, billionaires, sheiks and many more superstars, some of whom return year after year.

This property is listed for sale with I Find Marbella via Rightmove for 40,000,000.

4A private island in the Bahamas

If youve ever dreamt of owning your own private island surrounded by all the luxuries that paradise has to offer, the chances are your dream looked something like this.

This listing isnt a mirage, but in fact a remote idyllic island in the Bahamas where crystal-clear waters gently lap on white sandy beaches and tropical trees offer shade from glorious sunshine.

The island, known as Little Pipe Cay, is on the market for an eye-watering 63million and is home to several properties, with nine bedrooms in total. Its located in a stunning part of the Exumas island chain.

A sea barn contains boats and water sports equipment and there are several hundred feet of dock frontage to accommodate small and large boats, with a deeper draft dock by the operations end of the island.
