You want to be a farmer? Here's a couple of achers!
25 acres to be exact, that's the size of Arnold's new place in Santa Barbara County, California. Here's the scoop from AP:

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and wife Maria Shriver have purchased a 25-acre tract in an exclusive coastal enclave in Santa Barbara County for $4.7 million.

The Santa Barbara area has long been a magnet for celebrities, from Oprah Winfrey to Michael Jackson. Schwarzenegger snapped up a parcel in the Rancho Monte Alegre project, a former ranch in Carpinteria dotted with waterfalls and lush canyons that is being transformed into privately owned estates ranging from 20 to 720 acres, the Los Angeles Times reported this month.

Wow, Arnold's place is actually on the small end compared to 720 acres! The area looks like it would be a nice quiet getaway up in the hills. Here's the location on Google Maps (zoom in on the A marker):

Here's a realtor site that shows photos of a couple recently sold properties in Rancho Monte Alegre. Maybe one of those is Arnold's!

It joins the stable of properties he owns all over the country and the world. The Schwarzeneggers' primary home remains in the Brentwood area of LA.
