The House

She was waiting for us at the airport, and carried our luggage to her car in the basement parking lot, it was tall and black and spacious, with tinted windows, she effortlessly lifted out luggage into the spacious trunk, using perfect ergonomic form. Our dog and I went into the back seat, where there was a protective cover, her mother joined her in the front. The car was immaculate and luxurious. The drive was a few hours, and we were not allowed to eat in the car, and she played some soft classical music at one point when the road was long and clear. We stopped every hour as she stretched her legs and offered us delicious snacks. The sign off the main road was nonexistent, but for a tree with colorful rags hanging from its branches, and a large reflective pole. Not long after we entered this side road did we enter an above-ground tunnel. The slanted roof was glass, and there were many lights along the path, the bottom half of the sides, about half the height of the car, was stone, the spacious two-lane road was in pristine condition. Eventually the coverings vanished, and we were stopped in front of the tallest wall you'd ever seen, smooth, and painted to look like the surrounding forest, adorning the top were two watchtowers, within which were lights, speakers and microphones, and cameras, I could also spot some archer slits in the wall itself. Surrounding the wall was a wide moat, and the sturdy drawbridge, as wide as the road, was up. Just before the moat was a large steel box on sturdy steel stilts. On it was the brightly painted engraved address, a wide slot for mail, and next to it, making up the rest of the box, was a large door with a closed latch, to house larger parcels, on the top left side was a traditional red mail flag. She said she had received some mail while on the drive, and after unlatching the large door, used a key fob to open a sliding door that had thick steel bolts, she picked up a large package and placed it in the trunk, where there was still ample room. Using another fob, she lowered the drawbridge, and raised the portcullis that was hidden behind it, she then opened the main door, it split down the middle, and the doors disappeared into the walls. As we drove through she explained these were her 150 acres. We drove up to the main house, more of a castle really, and she used yet another key fob to open the huge garage doors. She closed the large doors and brought out the luggage, after wiping her shoes on a stylish welcome mat, she led us through the door that led to the mudroom, it led us right next to the front door. It was a hallway, with the front door near us on the right, and at the end of the hall, which seemed slightly sunken compared to the rest of the house, was a door the led to the rest of the house. The hallway was beautiful, with shiny granite floors and a tall airy ceiling. To the right of the front door was a coatrack, on which she placed her outer layer and bade us do the same. Next to it was an umbrella holder of which many varieties were poking out. On the left side of the hall was a long bench of dark wood and a single fluffy green cushion on which she took a seat, she undid her shoes, which were slightly dirty, and slid open the recessed door under the bench, placing her shoes there carelessly, and we did the same with ours. She placed her keys on a mother of pearl dish on a shelf that was one of many shelves and cubby doors that surrounded the bench like a hutch. I was mostly distracted by my reflection in the large mirrored armoire across from our seating, which she said housed more outerwear. There was a cabinet to the right of it, that upon opening, housed rows of shoes. Walking to the end of the hallway, to the right there was another cabinet that housed slippers. Though she did not have any pairs that would fit us, she slipped on a pair of slippers that looked to be as soft as a cloud. Minding our step, we entered the castle proper. She first escorted us to our room and placed out luggage there. The guestroom was huge, with large windowed doors that led to a small balcony covered with climbing roses, it even had a small table and pair of chairs, and an awning. There was a queen-sized bed of white silk, with an intricately carved wooden headboard, soft Persian carpets, a large armoire with all variations of pillows and bedding, from furs to wool to linen and down. There was a cushioned wooden chair for the desk, equipped with pens and paper and pencils and an many outlets for electronics. There were two matching nightstands, each with a coaster for water, an analogue alarm clock, a book she recommended and plenty of storage. There was a large dresser with a large mirror. The bathroom was the most impressive, it had a large tub with jets, a walk-in shower with steam and a rainfall showerhead. A large basin sink with, and the best soap and toilet paper and towels of Egyptian cotton, and a large window, and bidet and toilet stool. Everything was accessible, with braille and bars for the elderly, and wheelchair accessible and and things for the deaf as well, she was certainly prepared to entertain the elderly and disabled and neurodivergent. Once we were shown our rooms she handed us menus, it had every meal, every type of food or beverage was available, and typed in the most accessible way for the dyslexic or visually impaired. We first took her offer of a tour, and she showed us the grounds first, the stables, with her many horses, offering us a ride when we wanted, it also housed a bactrian camel and a pair of donkeys and housed a carriage, she showed us the indoor riding ring and the outdoor paddock. She showed us the barn with the many animals, cows and sheep, and the pastures they roamed, the chicken coop, and the coops for the other birds like the ducks, the cat enclosure, the dog enclosure, the greenhouse, the japanese garden, the rock garden, the herb garden, medicinal garden, moon garden, and poison garden, the lake and the river, the waterfalls, the hobbit house, the interconnected tree houses like out of lord of the rings, the root cellar, the gun and archery ranges, the outdoor pool, the maze and fountain at its center, the sunken fire pit, the oasis floating on the pond, the gazebo, the watchtowers, the gardens, the raptor enclosures. Inside she showed us the sunroom, the conservatory with its plants and the menagerie, the pantry, the laundry room, her bedroom, the spa, the indoor pool, the library, the orrery, the astronomy tower, the underground tunnels and city, the balconies, the kitchen and dining room, the great hall, the saferoom, the armory, the laboratory, the craft and art room, the cinema, the chapel, the temple, the courtyard with its well, the music room, the workshop, the office, the wine cellar, the sitting room, the bar, bathrooms on every floor.
