Well, once you bring in Judge Dredd it chains to that Anthrax song and the whole thing gets very silly. Best to head off that association at the pass.

Knowing Flan's luck, it'll be one of the ones who aren't available.

That's probably a good idea, particularly given how inconvenient it is to procure replacement turf. Meiling would also like to set up a botanical garden someplace on the grounds at some point, though that would obviously have to be well away from the firing range slash CQB training area.

There's still some of the estate we haven't actually seen yet—to the north of the house, for example, where we haven't looked at all, there are the ruins of what used to be the stables and carriage house, which could be made into something. (For that matter, the entire north wing of the house itself is still abandoned apart from Remilia's study.)

(On the other hand, there's nothing much to the east (i.e., out front) aside from the drive (mostly overgrown now) and some woods, before you get to the edge of the bubble and Pac-Man over to the far edge of the west lawn, and the only point of interest to the south is the glade with the mausoleum, and the little cemetery behind it we didn't see in that scene.)
