colonial estates
Overseas territorial properties
Colonial estates are large landed properties established during periods of colonial rule, typically for agricultural production like sugar, tobacco, or coffee.
The term evokes plantation systems where colonizers owned vast tracts worked by enslaved or indentured laborers.
In modern usage, colonial estates may refer to historic properties preserved as heritage sites, or to architectural styles reminiscent of that era: The hotel was converted from an old colonial estate.
