family estate

Inherited family land

A family estate is property—typically land with a large house—that has been owned by one family across generations.

The term suggests wealth, inheritance, and continuity: The family estate has been in their hands since the 1800s.

It may also refer more broadly to a family's collective assets for inheritance purposes.
