estate grounds

Wealthy property's acreage

Estate grounds are the land surrounding a large, stately residence—typically including gardens, lawns, woods, and other outdoor features.

The term emphasizes the expanse and maintained nature of the property: We walked the estate grounds before the wedding.

Grounds alone often suffices, but estate grounds specifies land belonging to a grand or historic property rather than an ordinary home.
