Farming is one of the Creations included inSkyrim Anniversary Edition, and it gives players the opportunity to run a farmstead in “the heart of Whiterun.” In order to engage with this Creation Club content, fans must visit the Goldenhills Plantation inSkyrim, which is said to be to the east of Rorikstead. While players that explore this area thoroughly should eventually encounter the plantation of interest, this guide will expedite the matter by detailing its precise position.
Skyrim: Goldenhills Plantation Location
For those players that are searching for the Goldenhills Plantation, a marked map is perhaps the easiest way to showcase its exact location. Such a map can be found in the video that is below, and fans should look for a structure that is guarded by a ghost upon arrival at the indicated position. Dispatching thisenemy inSkyrimwill initiate a quest called The Unquiet Dead, which will put players on the path to becoming farmers.

To note, some fans are reporting that Goldenhills Plantation is not appearing in its proper location, and its absence is preventing them from experiencing the Farming Creation firsthand. If a player encounters this issue, it is recommended that they navigate to the game’s main menu, enter the Creation Club, and confirm that Farming has been properly installed. Notably, someSkyrimUI modscan prevent fans from accessing the Creation Club, and they may need to disabled before the status of Farming can be checked.
Additionally, it is indicated that mods that alterWhiterun Hold inSkyrimmay prevent the Goldenhills Plantation from spawning properly. While it is possible that this conflict will be addressed as modders spend more time with the Anniversary Edition, players that want to enjoy Farming may need to deactivate any mods that impact the areas east of Rorikstead for the time being. In fact, players may want to avoid any major modification during these early days of the new edition to reduce the chances of encountering further problems.
One final thing to mention is that players can seemingly run into a problem even if they are able to locate the Goldenhills Plantation and start Unquiet Dead. More specifically, it appears that picking up Rin’s toy sword before reading his diary, which is located under his bed, can prevent further progression. Unfortunately, there is no known workaround for this issue at the time of writing, andSkyrimplayersshould thus take care when working on the quest.
