real property
Land and buildings
Real property is land and anything permanently attached to it—buildings, trees, minerals beneath the surface.
The term distinguishes immovable property from personal property (movable possessions like furniture or vehicles).
In legal and financial contexts, real property encompasses not just the physical land but also rights associated with it: The estate's real property included three hundred acres and a farmhouse.
Often shortened to real estate or realty.
