Property in European country (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

estate

'property' is the definition.
(I know that estate is a type of property)

'european country' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'country' becomes 'state' (synonyms).
'e'+'state'='ESTATE'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for estate that I've seen before include "Large car; property" , "One car" , "Nakedness" , "Amount of land - type of car" , "Family land" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Telegraph and The Independent.
