Do you have Hearthfire? After buying a plot of land, build the first phases of your homestead and bring a follower there. He will ask you if he can become the Steward for your home; accept it. Ask him to find a bard and a carriage driver. Pay him and return some days later. Note that only certain followers can be stewards, and also note that Lakeview Manor is not purchasable if you killed Helvard.
