country gentleman
Landed estate owner
A country gentleman is a man of independent means who lives on a rural estate, typically owning land but not working it himself.
The term evokes English gentry—comfortable wealth, leisured pursuits like hunting and fishing, and a certain social standing below the aristocracy but above common farmers: He retired to become a country gentleman, tending his gardens and shooting pheasants.
