So reads the sign at the end of a faint trail. Following the trail up the heavily forested mountain one comes to a small plateau, sparsely covered in trees. It appears to have been cleared for line of sight, as well as aesthetic purposes. Where the sunsets is always clear. Nothing is blocked from the view of the bench placed there. Only one side shows much sign of wear though
Beyond that lies a narrow opening in the rock face of the cliff face above the plateau. The opening leads to a curving, winding tunnel into the heart of the mountain. A few feet into the dark a solid steel portcullis awaits, painstakingly carved, fitted, and enchanted so none may enter except those friendly to him and his.
Once through this is a surprisingly spacious, but cozy cave, carved by a winding river long ago. The river carved its way through the stone of the mountain, leaving a series of caverns as it shifted.
A fireplace is off to one side, a natural fissure acting as the chimney. There are a few couches, obviously hand built, assembled in the room. The thin, winding, defensive nature of the entrance to his home making carrying anything in nearly impossible. Though magic is hard to thwart, teleportation magics was one of the first things warded against. All such teleport anything just outside the warded door.
Along one wall are all the cooking supplies, utensils, and such one might need or desire, as well as a fully stocked larder. Near this is a table big enough for 5-6 comfortably. Past this are a few smaller caves and alcoves. The master bedroom of course, two guest bedrooms, an area for working out, a hot spring bathing area, and various storage space.
The hot spring bubbles constantly, sliding down a small face within the rock to create a waterfall that drains into a pool, offering both a shower, as well as hot tub from the constant filling/emptying.
The guest rooms are simple but sinfully comfortable, as is the rest of the home. The furnishings are done in blues, greens, browns, reminiscent of the surroundings outside.
