landed estates
Aristocratic rural holdings
Landed estates are large areas of land, typically including farms, forests, and often a manor house, held by a single owner or family.
The term carries connotations of hereditary wealth, aristocratic status, and the traditional English gentry: The family's landed estates had been in their possession for generations.
Those who own such property form the landed gentry or landed aristocracy.
