Expanding on the mention of the Golden Rule, it represents a very basic moral precept that I imagine VERY few people would say they disagree with: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
Coercion is not an option for anyone who buys into this as a moral principle, which I do (and virtually everyone would claim to if asked).

Hoarding 100,000 acres of prime land for your own exclusive use and keeping all others off it (at the point of your gun) would also violate the Golden Rule.

Agreed. Non-sequitur much? (Strawman much?)
I would never dispute that developing a system for legitimate claims of ownership is very murky. Fortunately, it is a lot less murky in practice than your doomsday Bill-Gates-hoards-lots-of-unowned-land-and-kills-trespassing-hobos scenario.
