rural land
Fields and pastures
Rural land is land in the countryside, away from cities and towns.
It typically includes farmland, forests, ranches, and other areas characterized by low population density and open space.
The term appears frequently in zoning law, real estate, and land-use policy, where it contrasts with urban or suburban land: They bought forty acres of rural land outside the county seat.
