A feudal lord's estate may consist of a manor, or manorial estate, which is a large section of land with a hamlet or village and a manor house, along with a number of other buildings. Peasant families live and work on the estate and raise crops there. The lord of a manor derives income from the rent paid by the peasants, and also may use the estate for his own purposes. His obligations associated with the estate including providing protection, living, and working places for the peasants, and supporting his own lord with military support.

Some feudal estates were not agricultural manors, and could be towns, cities, or other sorts of places, such as fishing villages or mining communities.

A powerful feudal lord might have many separate estates, and they are sometimes referred together to as his estate, meaning the real estate he owns.
