I also found 1 acre = 4,046.8564224 square meter, i.e.
in your case 40.468,564224 Quadratmeter (same link).
Yet, if it\'s a story you\'re translating, I\'d chose the old expression
\'Morgen\':
Der Sohn bekam von seinem Vater 16 Morgen Land geschenkt.
\'Morgen\' is an old measure, you\'ll also find the conversion @ onlineconversion.com

  -> If you don't trust Collins, Volkmar, then let's stick to 'Morgen' as in the answer below.
neutral  Hans G. Liepert: Morgen ist totaler Quatsch, solange man sich nicht auf das jeweilige Land (Preussen, Hannover, Hessen, usw) geeinigt hat. Und wer weiss heute schon, was ein Morgen in Hessen war?
