Taking a lead from schumacher I discovered that the Bad Rivers Ranches is 141,357 acres. 220.870 sq. mi. Owned by Ted Turner. That is a lot of land. It might be the correct answer unless someone finds a bigger one.

Ted Turner owns more than two million acres making him the largest private landowner in the USA.

He owns land greater than the size of Rhode Island. It is 988,800 acres or 1,545 sq. mi. Also, larger than Delaware, 1,592,960 acres or 2,489 sq. mi.
