/ size of plot of land
French term or phrase: 17 ares 35 ca
Un terrain de 17 ares 35 ca.

Talking about a plot of land a house is built on. I know that an 'are' is 100 square metres. Is 'ca' - surface cadastrée? If so, how is this specified in this context? How should I write the complete measurement?

17350 m2 registered land???

Many thanks in advance.
