Ached, in a new way, for ranch (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hacienda

'ranch' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ached in a new way' is the wordplay.
'new way' is an anagram indicator.
'ached'+'in'+'a'='achedina'
'achedina' is an anagram of 'HACIENDA'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for hacienda that I've seen before include "Spanish landed estate -- I had acne (anag)" , "Large estate in Spanish-speaking countries" , "Large estate with house (Spanish)" , "home overseas" , "estate abroad" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
