A complete house might be a bit difficult to build, but low relief should work; a bit of "parkland" with a herd of deer, fancy gateway and gate keepers lodge.
Start with a photo of suitable building scale as required (if possible find a photo with a person or vehicle to aid scaling), make card cut outs with door and window apertures, maybe modify sizes to take available etched brass windows and doors; things like the columns for the porch and decorative mouldings should be available as white metal/resin castings or 3D prints (York models & Scale link among others), cover the card with Scalescenes brick, or stone etc or a print of your photo .
This photo has been extended from the original by a bit of copy/paste and some use of the clone tool to fit on a sheet of A4 scaled to approx N gauge (needs a bit more work, you can still see the joins)

Scaled it down to 3mm ,and set it at the back in the hope it would give the impression of perspective.
Did not think of a deer park ,but thought of a gravel drive ,statues of course ,and maybe even a maze using N gouge hedging. Still ongoing with the grounds ,so will have to see how it turns out. Had to print out a further sheet to get enough decent pediments ,and here and there used a grey wax pencil. Could not get the roof on which is a shame ,that's what attracted me to it in the first place.
