      It’s a common enough idiom out in New England through at least the mid Atlantic region. Growing up it generally meant a parcel smaller than ¼ acre but there are a few towns I’ve lived in where some folks had maybe a tenth of an acre for their house and driveway and (maybe) yard. You’d almost never hear it described any other way.
