7744 Ranch is the brainchild of Ron Anderson, the inventor of Anderson Mobile Estates, which was once the industry leader in ultra-luxurious production trailers. Will Smith, Vin Diesel, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez, and even former U.S. President Bill Clinton rented mobile homes from the company in the early 2000s, when they were away from their residences on business.
Without exception, Anderson Mobile Estates trailers were ultra-luxurious, furnished with high-end materials and custom furniture, with interiors inspired by the maritime industry and amenities that were uncommon in RVs at the time. The largest units, such as those manufactured by Smith and Diesel, featured multiple slide-outs and the patented pop-up canopy, which created a second level by pushing a button.
Smith’s custom-built vehicle, The Heat, is still the most expensive vehicle in the world, while Diesel’s is second. Enes Yilmazer, a real estate vlogger, refers to it as the “world’s largest RV,” which is only partially accurate: at 1,200 square feet (11.5 square metres), this unit has an interior volume unmatched by other RVs. Nonetheless, it’s comparable to The Heat and Baby Girl, the Jennifer Lopez-designed units we’ve discussed previously.
These three units, as well as two others, can now be rented for glamping by non-famous but still wealthy individuals. The Aspen (formerly known as The Comfy Cabin) at Diesel is the “cosiest of them all” and provides extraordinary amenities for at least four visitors accustomed to living large. This RV is more luxurious than actual brick mansions, with two lounges, a fully-equipped, full-size kitchen, a spa-like bathroom, and an additional half-bath upstairs. In essence, it is a conventional home on wheels.
According to Enes, this is the original Anderson Mobile Estates caravan, and before it was lent to Diesel for an extended period, Smith used it before he acquired The Heat. Over the years, Jennifer Lopez and an unnamed professional golfer who frequently hosted high-stakes tournaments in the rear lounge’s putting green also stayed there.
There are two entrances, through the kitchen or the rear living room. The lower level is dedicated solely to entertaining, and as either video demonstrates, it provides ample space for this purpose. Darker-hued hardwood floors, light wood panelling, and light-hued custom furniture give the unit its cabin-like atmosphere and name.
The kitchen is larger than a typical home’s, with stainless steel finishes, an oversized Viking refrigerator, a complete oven and stove, microwave, sink and a marble countertop with a sidebar. There is an adjacent dining nook with a wooden table and two leather benches, as well as a front lounge with two matching couches, a large-screen television and a sound bar. In the event that the rear lounge must function as an office, it can be made more private with a thick curtain.
The bathroom on the second floor features mosaic tiling on the floor, Carrara marble for the countertops and even the walls of the enormous shower, and chrome fixtures. Outside is a laundry area with a washing, dryer, and storage space.
The sleeping quarters are located upstairs, separated by a second luxurious but smaller restroom. It is referred to as a half-bath not due to its dimensions, as it is still quite spacious by RV standards, but because it lacks a shower. The children of Smith and Diesel slept in a sleeping area with two bunk beds immediately above the staircase. The lavatory is in the middle, while the master bedroom is in the back. You have a king-size bed, two armchairs, a wardrobe and sufficient space to walk around without ever having to worry about running into anything.
According to Anderson Mobile Estates, a night at the 7744 Ranch costs between $400 and $850, depending on the unit selected. This includes access to on-site amenities such as the sauna, outdoor dining, and coffee shop, but in the case of The Aspen, a 40×20-foot (12×6-meter) tent that can be set up outside the RV for all-weather events is not included.
