tract of land

Plot of ground

A tract of land is a defined area of ground, typically one being considered for development, sale, or legal purposes.

The phrase emphasizes the land as a bounded unit: The company purchased a large tract of land outside the city.

Tract alone often implies land, but the full phrase removes ambiguity when needed.
