How to say "estate" in Japanese

• 屋敷やしきJLPT N1approx.Common
  nounCovers 'estate' as a dwelling together with its grounds and premises — the residence and the land it stands on. Typical context: talking about where a household lives, the house and its grounds.
  彼かれはいなかの屋敷やしきに住すんでいる。↗

  He lives on his country estate.
• 遺品いひんCommon
  nounCovers 'estate' as what the deceased leaves behind: belongings and inherited items, treasured as mementos. It points to personal effects, not land or property, so it is not the word for real-estate senses.
• 地所じしょCommon
  nounCovers 'estate' as land: a plot or tract of land held as property. Choose it when the emphasis is on the land itself and its ownership, not on a house or residence there.
  彼かれは田舎いなかに地所じしょを持もっている。↗

  He has an estate in the country.
• エステートCommon
  nounThe loanword, borrowed straight from English. In practice it belongs mostly to real-estate and property-business contexts, and for the everyday senses above it is seldom the word you want.

Choose 屋敷 for a residence with its grounds, 地所 for land held as property, 遺品 for what the deceased leaves behind, and 「エステート」 only as the loanword heard mainly in real-estate contexts.
