Ce domaine vs. ces terres

Frank C.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

The sentence refers to buying a "region". To me, that implies a rather large estate with a fancy house and well-kept grounds. My dictionary gives 'terres' as the preferred choice over 'domaine' when referring to lands. Should this option not be added? If not, why is domaine preferred?

Thank you for bringing this to our attention Frank, we have changed the English and added 'ces terres' as an excellent possibility.

Bonne Continuation !
