So far I've learned that if you want a safe manor, don't live in Falkreath.

In my experience, of the three homesteads, the Falkreath home seems to get far more attention from enemies. Just while building/furnishing my house there, I got attacked by 2 Ancient dragons, a group of bandits, vampires, 4 giants and a skeever infestation. Whilst building/furnishing the dawnstar one and playing a good few hours afterwards I had one poacher come for my cow, and that's it (has a giant camp just down a slope to the east and one to the west, yet no attacks.)
