Glad you like the idea
Every living and loving guy worth his salt would LOVE to build a nice Castle for his beautiful lady-love....IF only he could damned-well afford it like Stragon can....^^
Come on....be honest....lovelorn Stragon is hopelessly head-over-heels for sweeeeeet Ambrosia, (who could possibly blame him?^^) and thus, he'll actually be building this "monument" for HER!
May I humbly make a few minor architectural suggestions? :
(1) Inside the mountain, a nice, lush, underground "Alchemist's Paradise" cavern containing the following:
-- bountiful, vibrant flora everywhere, both edible and alchemical, divided by some narrow walk-paths,
-- a few beehives, and Willow's "101 bugs", ^^
-- a steaming, hotspring-fed waterfall plunging into a small underground creek, flowing into a natural pond with submerged, natural stone benches for sitting and soaking,
--perhaps a few stepped terraces for providing more growing-spaces....if needed,
-- hovering magelights for providing photosynthesis in this sun-less environment,
--a simple little alchemy lab, off to one side or end of the cavern and out of the way.
(All of the above was inspired by the beautiful Eldergleam Sanctuary, and THESE):

(2) secret, narrow passageways connecting the following:
-- the Master Suite, (with a huge, classical, "California-king" sized canopy-bed for Ambrosia....AND Stragon)^^
--the aforementioned "Paradise Cavern",
--the kitchen,
--and maybe a few other "strategic" areas you might be thinking of,
-- an exterior, secret entrance/exit at a strategic, hidden lookout near the entrance to the pass, (with good ambush potential) perhaps well-hidden behind a sliding rock-door,
All of the above with the following:
-- well-hidden and/or cleverly disguised doors and hatches with secret, cunningly-concealed open/close switches.
(3) Inside the walls, a small, hardy, high-altitude farm for minimizing expen$ive and frequent $upply-runs into town, with the following:
-- some very tough and hardy, cold-tolerant crops and grain-fields,
-- a livery stable with a few cows, a herd of goats, some rabbits, etc...
-- a coop with several chickens and eggs,
-- ALL of the above respawning, say, after 2 days, if possible.
(4) a draw-bridge to keep unwelcome interlopers, especially the filthy Thalmor (spits violently) AWAY!
I just ran out of ideas now , hope this doesn't seem like I'm rambling on, no doubt you probably have a few in mind for making this Castle quite grand for both Stragon AND his gorgeous love-interest, Ambrosia.
Swiftly endorsed. Kind thanks and cheers, Steven!
You seem to know Stragon and his heart quite well..... it is a project for his continuing background that he began this undertaking before finally pairing with the girl that haunted his mind for so many years.
Thank You very much for all the ideas... and if you've got a chance, here is the castle
