ancestral home
Generational family estate
An ancestral home is the place where one's family has lived for generations—the house, estate, or region associated with one's lineage.
The term often carries connotations of heritage and rootedness: She returned to her ancestral home in Ireland.
It may refer to a grand family estate or simply the village one's forebears came from.
