Yes. Marxists have a distinction between personal property (your toothbrush, your desk and pens) and private property (a factory or an auto dealership full of cars or a supermarket).

    What's the limit, though? Land?

    The difference is, whether it is used for consumption or as means of production. If it's used for division of labor and creates surplus, it's means of production. Some things can be used as both, but not at the same time.

    Land and natural resources are seen as commodities and have different properties in Marx' theories.

    question: So Marx is ok with a person owning many square kilometers of land, as long as they don't use it to profit?

    I'm not an expert, but I think Marx would argue that all commodities should be under the power of society, the working class should decide what to do with it. Not different to any other rules over the land before.
