de Vries Estate and Manor
The de Vries Estate brings a disciplined foreign style to High Aranthaes. Clean lines, cool courts, and a canal like water run give the house a measured grace. The family favors precise books and firm handshakes.
Guests find order from gate to gallery. Meetings keep to time. The kitchen serves simple food prepared with exacting care.
Plane trees cast patterned shade over gravel walks. A linear rill mirrors the sky along the south wall. Low hedges and pale stone set a calm palette.
An entry hall of pale wood leads to a counting room lit by high windows. A long table in the main salon hosts hard bargaining with a view to the water run.
Guards drill at set hours. The house accountant audits before dawn. Messengers receive stamped tallies at a side door and depart at once.
The family bank handles foreign remittances and exchange. They are known for sharp terms and dependable settlements. Their eye remains fixed on city mints and contracts.
