I think they mean lots of land.
I have 22, and my two best friends have 35 and 45.  My immediate 
neighbors have 5 and 15 and 15.  The average size subdivided lot in my 
zip code is probably about 1/2 acre, but there are subdivisions with 5 
acre tracks.  When I was looking, there seems to be a price break around 
20 acres...of course, out west, like Wyoming, I can't imagine that those 
40 acre parcels have water.  Almost everyone around here has water.
