1. A person who owns land.
   • If this was unrestricted freehold, the land is available for sale or lease, although often it is not readily marketable, by reason of its shape and access; neighbouring landowners are possible purchasers. In some cases, reversionary rights were reserved to neighbouring landowners when the land was acquired. 1951 June, “The Why and the Wherefore: Abandoned Branch Lands”, in Railway Magazine, page 428:
   • The largest owner of tea lands on the island in the late 1800s (and Taiwan’s single wealthiest family) were the Lins of Pan-ch’iao.
