sweeping view

Wide scenic expanse

A sweeping view is a wide, unobstructed vista that extends across a broad expanse of landscape.

The word sweeping suggests the eye can move continuously across the scene without interruption: The hilltop offered a sweeping view of the valley below.

Often used in real estate listings and travel writing to emphasize panoramic appeal.
