rural estates
Landed gentry holdings
Rural estates are large landed properties in the countryside, typically comprising a substantial house or manor along with surrounding farmland, woods, and outbuildings.
The term evokes traditional wealth and aristocratic landholding: The family's rural estate had been in their possession for generations.
In real estate contexts, rural estates often emphasize privacy, acreage, and distance from urban development.
