| May 9, 2015 at 11:50 | comment | added | Erich | agreed, and in this case, i would not limit it to just the land, but rather their entire domain: land, buildings, residence, and any other ancillary value tied up in it. | |
| May 9, 2015 at 11:48 | comment | added | Hot Licks | @erich - Certainly there can be more on the estate than just the residence. Some old estates were small towns in themselves. | |
| May 9, 2015 at 11:46 | comment | added | Erich | estates include much more than the land; they include all the buildings as well. not all buildings are the owner's residence; particularly back in the victorian era and before, commoners did not own the land -- the owning gentry would allow them to live there in exchange for working the land. | |
| May 9, 2015 at 11:38 | comment | added | Hot Licks | @erich - Google "lived on a large estate" (with the quotes). | |
| May 9, 2015 at 11:33 | comment | added | Hot Licks | @erich - In the above quote the term "estate" was clearly referring to the specific (large) property containing the residence. (Though I can see how one might read it the other way if not familiar with the term "estate".) | |
| May 9, 2015 at 11:30 | comment | added | Erich | in this case, i would argue that estate refers to everything they are entitled to (ownership-wise), and property refers to the land proper (no pun intended), as it says their residence was located in the middle of it. | |
