unpossessed
Belonging to nobody
Unpossessed means not owned or held by anyone: The land remained unpossessed for decades.
It can also describe a state of being free from external control or influence—not possessed by spirits, passions, or obsessions: She remained calm and unpossessed by the hysteria around her.
The word is literary and uncommon.
