Spanish term or phrase: predio

Here, I'm really looking for precision - since I know that this *could* be: land, piece of land, plot, lot, property etc.
Plenty of options but which is the most accurate, please?
In the absence of any convincing answer to the contrary, I'm sticking with "property".

"Efectuar la investigación técnica y jurídica en cada uno de los predios rurales del cantón XXX"

"Efectuar el relevamiento predial rural, determinando: los límites de cada uno de los predios, límites de cobertura... "

"Se entiende como tal a la determinación de los linderos de cada predio contando con el apoyo de las ortofotos y/o el uso de los receptores DGPS; para lo cual, será necesario que el personal encargado recorra cada uno de los límites prediales, conjuntamente con los propietarios, poseedores o posesionarios y, donde sea posible, con la presencia de los testigos colindantes, para asegurar resultados más confiables, aspecto que será indispensable en predios cuyos linderos estén en conflicto"

Property

Explanation:
Since you have the phrase predios rurales the correct translation would be rural properties. This term would fall under the category: law. If it was just predio than it would mean an estate.

Thanks everyone for your help. I've mostly used "property" but sometimes if the context is right, I've used "pieces of land"

I think in you context property would do just fine, as you suggest.

Reference: A word about estate.

Reference information:
I associate the word *estate* alone, when dealing with land, with luxury. I imagine a mansion with a butler and lots of horses and an overseer.

Reference

Reference information:
According to the Chilean "Ordenanza General de Urbanismo y Construcciones" Predio is defined as:

Denominación genérica para referirse a sitios, lotes, macrolotes, terrenos, parcelas, fundos, y similares, de dominio público o privado, excluidos los bienes nacionales de uso público.

But not necessarily rural as expressed in another legal document:

"Aquellos predios existentes con anterioridad al 13 de junio de 1995 y que no sean producto de una fusión predial localizados en los sectores de densidad baja y media, del territorio comunal y que se encuentren entre dos predios en que existan edificaciones de mayor altura y densidad a la actualmente permitida, podrán optar a las mismas condiciones de edificación de los terrenos adyacentes"

So we can have:

predios urbanos
predios rústicos
Predio Remanente Aislado
predio densificado
predio agrícola

Although one usually think of predio as something rural and even agricultural in government it's considered just property in general, with or without buildings.
