if it rains enough, maybe a small moat on 2.5 sides of the house,

no draw bridge, just a paved driveway,


alligators no, but lots of skinks and the neighbor's outside panther,,, (housecat)

As a matter of fact, it is. However, it's currently drained, and I don't know what they did with the gators. No drawbridge, just a security entrance.
