private estate

A private estate refers to a large property owned by an individual or family, typically including a main residence and surrounding land or grounds. It is maintained for personal use, privacy, and often reflects wealth or status. Unlike public or commercial properties, private estates are not open to the general public and are managed according to the owner's preferences. They may include gardens, recreational facilities, or additional buildings, and often serve as a residence, retreat, or investment. The term emphasizes exclusivity and personal ownership of a substantial, often prestigious, property.
