ranchettes
Small rural parcels
Ranchettes is the plural of ranchette, a small ranch or rural property—typically a few acres rather than hundreds.
The term suggests hobby farming or country living without full-scale agricultural operation: The subdivision carved the old cattle ranch into twenty ranchettes.
Common in the American West and Southwest for properties too small for serious ranching but marketed with rural appeal.
