gentlemen farmers
Leisured estate owners
Gentlemen farmers are landowners who farm for pleasure rather than necessity, maintaining agricultural estates while deriving their primary income from other sources.
The term suggests wealth and leisure—someone who can afford to raise horses or grow crops without depending on the harvest: He fancied himself a gentleman farmer after buying the old estate.
The singular is gentleman farmer.
