land·own·er·ship, noun land·own·ing, noun, adjective

So much for the natural right of landownership as seen in the light of reason.

Distributive Justice |John A. (John Augustine) Ryan
The nobility had no longer the monopoly of landownership, and many bourgeois enriched by trade bought large estates.

Belgium |Emile Cammaerts
It leads to absurdity to use the word monopoly with reference to landownership indiscriminately.

The Principles of Economics |Frank A. Fetter
In opposition to it bookland appears as landownership derived from royal privilege.

Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 10, Slice 5 |Various

While the element of scarcity is common to landownership and to monopoly, it differs in its operation.
