family seat
Hereditary country manor
A family seat is the principal residence associated with an aristocratic or landed family, typically a large country house or estate that has been held across generations.
The term implies both ownership and ancestral connection: Blenheim Palace has been the family seat of the Dukes of Marlborough since 1704.
Chiefly British.
