Close :-)

wilderness /0wld ns/ noun. OE.
[ORIGIN Old English wild(d)ornes, from wil(d)dor wild deer + -ness.]
1 Land which is wild, uncultivated, and inhabited only by wild animals; a wild, uncultivated, or uninhabited region.


That's just described my back garden when the sheep have broken in:-)
