English term

the unique acreage living

English Other Real Estate
The phrase comes from here:
https://www.raywhite.com/qld/bridgeman-downs/1265864/

The suburb of Bridgeman Downs is well known for it's large homes on large parcels of land, even the unique acreage living that surrounds the area on 2, 3 and more acres of land with room for all the families pursuits.

What does "the unique acreage living " mean here? Particularly, I don't understand the context: a large acre or acres of property would of course have room for all the families pursuits, why the word "even" is used there?

Thank you for your help!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

country living (on acres of land)

The definition of acreage is land that is measured in acres, and if you live in a house which is on land measured in acres, you live on acreage.

Also, acreage living is unique if you are living in a city or suburbs. So, it is an USP (unique selling proposition) of this property (mentioned in your link).

Here, even is trying to add to the benefit of living in Bridgeman Downs. Not only is it known for it's [typo here in original; should be its] large homes on large parcels of land, there is also acreage living surrounding this area. So, thre is much more free area that typical large homes on large parcels of land. It is just highlighting the value proposition of the property.
