Gemstone Way
Back story:
The great Mage Zhaldama was the original owner of Gemstone Way, which was his second home.  His other home, near Winterhold, was where he spent most of his time while studying at the college there.  But Zhaldama made an enemy by the name of Petrezmo, a fearsome werewolf who sought revenge against Zhaldama for killing his father and brother.  Zhaldama heard that Petrezmo was planning an attack on Gemstone Way, thinking that he would find the Mage housed there, so the Mage asked you, the Dragonborn, to go to The Rift and face Petrezmo in battle.  If victorious, The Mage offered you ownership of the home, and sent you off to battle with a bottle of virulent paralysis poison to use on your weapon of choice.  The battle was difficult, but finally, you were victorious over Petrezmo when you struck him with a poisoned arrow.  So Petrezmo now stands eternally paralyzed, still clutching the skulls he was intent to strike you down with.   
**************************************************
I wanted to have a home in the Rift with everything necessary to my needs which was beautiful and spacious and also remained true to the original Skyrim feel, so I developed "Gemstone Way" which allows for both followers and family.
**************************************************

The home is quite unique
as a Nordic dwelling and is fit for any player category.  It's a great home to have at the start of a game since it offers many perks to begin your adventures as the Dragonborn, but it also works well during any period of game play.
More like a mansion / museum, I think you will enjoy the fact that your followers will seldom block your way from moving freely, which is troublesome for players with several followers.

**************************************************

The introductory video is the best way to understand all of the features of this, my fourth player home mod, which is by far the best work that I've done to date, after having spent over 10 weeks on the project. Yet this mod is not huge, since it is not over scripted and has little chance of bogging down your system.  I have personally navmeshed this mod with no reported errors and I have also cleaned the mod with Tess5Edit so you are good to go!  I have also played the game with my 6 followers who function beautifully in the mod. 
**************************************************
Mod Features:


Full crafting both inside and out, sun beds, a hot tub, a beverage bar, an actual working horse stable, a wish fountain that will bless you and cure your diseases when activated, and a working bathroom complete with a shower and toilet.  You will also find lots of storage including a custom potion collection and an ammo collection next to the archery platform which is unlike any other in the game. 
There are 4 display cases, 4 mannequins, a sword fighting practice area and a full armory of custom weapon racks and plaques.  There is also a cell that allows you to lock up any follower that has a "grump on", or you can put them on the stretcher if they're really bad!
If you stand with your right side near the wish fountain, you can toss your dragon priest masks and claws into it before you make your wish! They are pretty ugly to put on display, LOL!
The "Grand room" has a gorgeous natural feel with a clear running stream and plenty of re-spawning plants to harvest. A hawk circles the top of the grand room which also has some chickens and a rabbit running about.
The guard dog "Digs", sits near the front door to happily greet you whenever you enter Gemstone Way.

**************************************************
Requirements:

No DLC's are required, but you should have a recent version of the game.

You will need to locate the home's key in the exterior smithing area to unlock the door.  The Cell key is in the enchanting area.  I placed a spoiler in a post response as to the keys exact location.
**************************************************
Installation:
