land swap

Acreage trade agreement

A land swap is an exchange of real estate between two parties, typically governments or large landowners.

Land swaps often resolve boundary disputes, consolidate holdings, or protect natural areas: The federal government proposed a land swap to give the tribe access to ancestral hunting grounds.

The term implies roughly equivalent value on both sides, though negotiations may involve cash adjustments.
