A piece of land away from home (6)

I believe the answer is:

afield

'away from home' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a piece of land' is the wordplay.
'piece of land' becomes 'field' (field is a kind of piece of land).
'a'+'field'='AFIELD'

(Other definitions for afield that I've seen before include "away from home" , "At a distance ("far ____")" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Telegraph.
