What if you had a large static asset, like land a parent left you? or the family farm?

Ironically, we already have a wealth tax on land. It's just called property tax, but it's effectively a wealth tax on land.
There's already property tax.

But the wealth tax is on top of property tax. You would most likely have to sell it off in lots (if you could) to pay the wealth taxes on it if you aren't say farming or renting it and "making money" on it rather than it just sitting there storing value.
