I'm afraid it's not hints we should be looking for.

Or the equally deliberately silly Marisa Culprit Theory.
In any case, this just goes to show how Ryuukishi's tendancy to get really long-winded while writing creates an abundance of hints as well as a ridiculously long story. Twice the length of War and Piece? Wow. That kinda makes me proud for reading all through Umineko. Maybe I'll marathon the entire series once I've got all the English patches.
On a side note, an at max fifty-episode anime series doesn't quite seem to give Umineko much credit to me, now that I have a idea of long it is.

And I completely agree with that. I was just having some fun debating it's existence. But on a serious note, I do sort of doubt it's habitability, considering it's likely Kinzo would've abandoned it after Beato the Second's death. Then again, it's equally likely that Kinzo, being obsessed with her, would've kept in tidy shape, for when his beloved returned.
I wouldn't put it past Kinzo.
