There is brilliant way to solve it so that value and market-value meet. Keep the land always in market.

It's called Common Ownership Self-Assessed Tax (COST).

Land owner would self-assess the value of assets they possess, pay a tax on that value. The owner would be required to sell the asset to anyone willing to purchase them at this self-assessed price.

If you value the land high for any reason and want to keep it, you must self-assess the value higher than anyone is willing to pay for it and pay tax for it. If value it too low, someone might buy it.
