Genealogy
Он один из немногих отечественных художников, кто несет через свое творчество верность родному гнезду, величественному полесскому краю, стремясь запечатлеть все то, что помнится с детства и юности и что сегодня отзывается душевной ностальгией о прошедшем, о том восприятии прекрасной и трогательной красоты белорусской природы

Yes, I see that even figurative sense does not fit here.

ancestral lands/home/homelands
A dusty journey
through ***ancestral lands***,
once tilled by long ago kin.
Down that road to nowhere
lies a land that was
of babies, and dreams...

old country
Russian offers many more ways of expressing different shades of meaning with regard to homeland than English. Invariably one will cross with another.
Native soil is, as I said above, a good option but crosses with the 19th century movement.
Homeland is usually отечество or родина, etc.
"Old country" calls to mind the old, peasant/farming way of life, the natural origins of a country in its agricultural past.
