abandoned farm
Left fallow property
An abandoned farm is agricultural land with structures that has been left unworked and unoccupied.
The phrase evokes rural decay—empty farmhouses, overgrown fields, collapsing barns.
Abandoned farms appear in discussions of economic decline, urban migration, and changing land use: The county is dotted with abandoned farms from the Depression era.
They're also settings for horror films and urban exploration.
