Land in America (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

realty

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'land' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'america' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for realty that I've seen before include "Property ownership in the US" , "Lyrate (anag.)" , "American real estate" , "Immovable property" , "Property legally" .)
