An owner of a large amount of land?
Is there a word, or a term, for a person who owns a large amount of land? "large" in the sense of "enough that the person would need to employ people not in his family to cultivate it".
This would be a sort of an English equivalent of "Kulak" in (post-1917 vernacular) Russian or "Latifundista" in Castillian.
Note: The word or term must specifically exclude small land-owners, people who cultivate their own land.
Solution 1:
A landowner :
is a person who owns land, especially a large amount of land.
- ...rural communities involved in conflicts with large landowners.
(Collins)
You also have latifundist, but it is not a common term.
