There are two entries needed:

 

1) The entry for the funds received from the owner are both the deposit and the loan.  Create an Other Current/Long Term Liabilities account called 'Loan Payable - Owner'.  Then, record a bank deposit and assign the newly-created Loan Payable - Owner account to the deposit.  You now have the deposit and the loan payable on your balance sheet.

2) Record the purchase of the land by creating a Check or Expense Transaction.  Create a fixed asset account called "Land - XYZ" and assign that account to the Check or Expense Transaction.  You now have the reduction in cash and the land asset on your balance sheet.  That's it.
