|---|---|
| Address | 13246 Via Ranchero Court |
| MLS | ML82063655 |

| List Price | $4,988,888 |
The asking price of $4,988,888 is where the record stops. No square footage, no lot size, and no bedroom count appeared in the feed data for this listing, so a price-per-square-foot figure and a like-for-like peer comparison are not possible from what was recorded.
