country estates
Aristocrats' landed properties
Country estates are large rural properties typically comprising a grand house, extensive grounds, and often working farmland or forests.
The term evokes aristocratic or wealthy landholding, particularly in British contexts: The family's country estate had been passed down for generations.
Estate here emphasizes both the land and the social position it represents—a retreat from urban life with space for hunting, gardening, and entertaining.
