The following words were suggested:
Glebe, Demesne, and Manor.
And I'm starting to doubt whether "glebe" was the word I read, because I asked elsewhere here and there with no different results. It was a book about medieval Europe and it must had been a discription of some rural "glebe". It must be the confusion that
