I don't understand this

"Angelina is understood to have snapped up the island, located some 50-miles away from New York City, after discovering its two sprawling properties were designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Brad’s favourite architect. "

what is that "sprawling properties" there supposed to mean?

The news article also included this picture(hope you can see it though!)
  

Top answer

"properties" means buildings of some kind, in this case probably residential. "sprawling" means covering a large area in a haphazard way.
