When you get the 'Deed to Goldenglow Estate' from Gulum-Ei (dead or alive), you actually become the estate's owner. Then you can keep it and get a monthly income, or sell it to Maven for a hefty sum. --- ESP-FE

Added a boat travel option to and from Honeyside's dock. It's available when you get the ownership.
Version 2.0.5
Enabled fast travel to the estate's door instead of to the bridge [only after obtaining the ownership], as requested.
Version 2.0.4
Just noticed a chicken nest floating in mid-air, too ridiculous to let it pass.
Version 2.0.3
Added a few trees and thingies to the exterior area, to make it feel less empty.
Tried to make the apiaries and the exterior containers regularly respawn their content. This reverts some USSEP changes and it's intentional.
If updating from version 2.0.0 or above, you can do that anytime. If you still have an older version below 2.0.0, please take heed of the warning in the changelog and don't update if you're not going to start a new game.
Version 2.0.2
Deleted, I mistakenly uploaded an incomplete file.
Version 2.0.1
Some of the mercenaries couldn't be disabled without creating tedious conflicts, but they can certainly be killed to accommodate the sneaky thieves who completed the Goldenglow quest by stealth. This takes effect if the ownership quest hasn't already been started or completed, otherwise it will work only in a new game.
The income has been slightly increased, it should average at something like 25,000 per year.
Version 2.0.0
I decided to have the mod managed by a quest. This will remove the need to actually read the deed and other minor problems (eg. keys flagged as stolen). Everything should feel smoother and more clear. No new content added.
WARNING - Don't update from a previous version if you're not going to start a new game, or use a save cleaner like Fallrim Tools if you really feel you wish to update.
I'll begin with what this is not: it isn't another hyper-stylish, all-gadgets player home. Personally, I find the new-player-home galore a little boring. Get them all and most of Skyrim is yours. You could just evict the dragons, no need to kill them. With that out of the way, this is a small lore-friendly immersion mod. You can sleep in your mansion, stroll around proudly, get an income, store stuff.
One day, lad, all this shall be yours!

Ownership
Aringoth and the mercenaries are removed.
All the items are yours.
The master bed gives the well-rested bonus.
The interior containers are set to no-respawn for safe storage.
The beehives are repaired and a few farmers/beekeepers (and four chickens!) are working at the estate. The workers (chickens excluded) have a daily schedule and a bed to sleep in.
You get a copy of the keys (in case you're still missing some of them).
You find the estate's monthly revenues in a box inside the main bedroom (25,000/year, more or less). If you don't retrieve the gold, it keeps accumulating.
Once the 'Scoundrel's Folly' quest is completed, you can bring the deed to Maven and sell the Estate for a whopping 60,000 gold. You lose the ownership, the keys, and the monthly income.
Boat travel to and from Honeyside. It can be enabled and disabled by an activator [see image] in the Goldenglow master bedroom. The activator is available when you get the ownership. The service is initially disabled but persists even after selling the property, for convenience.
How to start Soon after leaving Brinewater Grotto with your deed during the 'Scoundrel's Folly' Thieves Guild quest (if you had already got it before installing this, pick it up again and bring it along for a while) you get the traditional "visit your new property" miscellaneous quest objective. Entering the building completes the objective
Compatibility note If you have mods with book edits (eg. Book Covers), the deed could still be wrongly named "Goldenglow Bill of Sale" instead of "Deed to Goldenglow Estate". Although the mod would still work, I'd suggest to load it lower. I have also keyworded the deed as "not sellable" because I often lose important stuff by mistake.
