neutral  Paula Vaz-Carreiro: I'm sorry but you can't say 'a own house' and 'a house of its own' is nonsense. You can say: 'a house of one's own'//If so, can you provide an example?
33 mins
  -> Yes, you can. Depending on the context. Examples: "...the Association might soon have a house of its own." "...It had no house of its own until 1864 ..." "Seeking his own house" "These days getting or having a own house is a tough task indeed"
disagree  airmailrpl: "a own house / a house of its own" these are really BAD

home owner


Explanation:
Na Inglaterra ouve-se muito a expressão 'home owner', mas talvez você tenha que adaptar a frase, já que o sujeito deixa de ser a casa e passa a ser o proprietário.
