extensive landed property (especially in the country) retained by the owner for his own use
"the family owned a large estate on Long Island"
plural of acre
"The estate covers twenty acres, making it large enough to host a weekend party without feeling crowded."
In plain English: An acre is a standard unit used to measure large areas of land, like fields or farms.
"The new house sits on ten acres of rolling green fields."
Usage: Use "acres" to refer to multiple units of land area, typically when describing the total size of a property or region. Ensure it follows a number indicating how many individual acres are being counted.
Derived from Old French acre, which comes from Latin ager meaning "field," the plural form refers to units of land area originally defined by the amount of ground an ox could plow in one day.
