What I liked about this farm was that there was, as the name suggests, an entire family living here. As someone living with a grandparent, I can appreciate having pleasant accommodations for an extended family.
Here on the West side are the main house, where I would expect Grandma lives possibly with Mom & Dad. Or maybe Mom & Dad live in the cottage in the far West corner. Close enough to walk over for breakfast but far enough so that they can have sex once in awhile.
Then there's the East side of the property, where the barns, animals, & silo are. A bit of overkill with the scarecrows. This is probably the least desirable of the living quarters on the property; one imagines it's hot, noisy & smells like poop. Whoever lives here has to take care of the livestock & probably deal with all the storage workings. This is either the abode of the hired help or the bastard grandson.
And then, the Resort area. Here's where the favorite grandchildren (all of them, perhaps) all have their own little cabins, a playset, & general vacation-style surroundings. Grandma's estate has provided well for them. All this place needs is a tennis court & a gym. Even the private pumpkin field is landscaped with a flowered path.
A lot of farms make great & practical use of trees as hedges. This not only makes them quite convenient to harvest consecutively, but has a functional aspect in the design as well. Grandma has to Hide her trees when she harvests her pumpkins but this is not a big deal. Pumpkins take 4 days to mature, so that's 80 hours that those trees are in the right place.
