Luxury living comes at a cost—but that cost varies widely across the U.S., according to new data from Realtor.com.

In New York, a high-end home averages $5.49 million, requiring a minimum annual salary of $1.15 million. Meanwhile, in West Virginia, luxury real estate starts at just $750,000, with an income of $158,000 needed to afford it.

“The price of luxury homes differs significantly across the country,” says Realtor.com senior economic research analyst Hannah Jones. “In states like New York and Hawaii, luxury homes exceed $5 million, while in more affordable states like West Virginia, Iowa, Indiana, and Mississippi, the threshold is under $800,000.”

Set against the cinematic backdrop of Montana’s Bitterroot Valley, Two Feathers Ranch offers more than just a brush with Hollywood history, with ties to Yellowstone and the legendary Chief Joseph Ranch. Priced at $16.3 million, the 350-plus-acre property unfolds across irrigated meadows, timbered hills, and trout-filled Tin Cup Creek, with sweeping views of the Bitterroot and Sapphire mountain ranges. At its center is a 7,180-square-foot main residence designed for both entertaining and quiet retreat, complemented by a guesthouse, manager’s quarters, and fully equipped equestrian and cattle facilities that make it a true working ranch. With a riding arena, private pond, abundant wildlife, and no conservation restrictions, the estate delivers an increasingly rare combination of scale, flexibility, and authenticity that goes well beyond its on-screen pedigree.
