Portuguese term or phrase: Terreno baldio
Olá,

estou em busca da tradução do termo 'Terreno Baldio', mas digo aqueles que, por exemplo, são terrenos que estão à venda para alguém construir uma casa, em um bairro residencial, por exemplo!

Achei pela net 'Wasteland' mas isso não parece encaixar bem no tipo de terreno que descrevi.

Agradeço a ajuda,
