unfenced land


Explanation:
However, where I live, in the North Pennines of Northern England, such land is called allotments. Not to be confused with the plots where enthusiastic gardeners grow their prize vegetables.

neutral  Deane Goltermann: 'Outlying' certainly fits, but the Swe term includes land that is forested, and owned land that is otherwise unproductive.
