ranch land

Open grazing grounds

Ranch land is acreage used for raising livestock, typically cattle or horses, on open range.

The term emphasizes the land itself rather than the operation: They're selling off ranch land to developers.

Ranch land often implies rural, undeveloped terrain suited to grazing rather than farming.
