Note
Children are welcome, just keep in mind the river by the house, mostly 30-50cms deep in summer.

There are no child gates on the stairwells as the design doesn't make it practical

There is a small minor dwelling on the property, but this is about 25 meters from the main house, behind a barn on the other side of the driveway, the minor isn't visible from the house, with one elderly tenant,
so you shouldn't hear or see her, she is very quiet.
