landholders

Those owning acreage

Landholders are people who own or occupy land, especially substantial acreage.

The term appears most often in legal, agricultural, and historical contexts: The new tax affected all landholders in the county.

A landholder may be a farmer working their own property, an absentee owner, or someone holding land through lease or grant.
