Built to the east of the village (towards the rising sun). The Hyuuga ancestral estate was originally a fairly small, independent village of its own, nestled deep within the heart of the Fire Country. Originally meant just for the carriers of the Byakugan limit, once the clan leader had agreed to a contract with the Shodaime Kage to be part of Konoha, the Hyuuga village was assimilated and had ever since remained on the eastern borders of Konoha itself. Parts of the village were revamped throughout the years and connected (by bridges of either wood or carved stone) to create a singular, large estate. A historical treasure in itself, this was where their ancestors of the famous Konoha twelve, Hyuuga Hinata and Hyuuga Neji, once resided. Throughout the centuries, the compound had not changed much - with Heian era building designs and the simplistic Japanese décor of the rooms. The wooden floors are always kept highly polished and shoes are not worn in the sleeping chambers or the clan dojo.
Logically, as an estate that’s part of the village, it is by far from hidden. But that does not mean people could enter and leave on whim. Entering uninvited always leaves the chance of some paranoid clansman attacking suddenly under the justification for intrusion. To avoid the former possibility, it would be wise to use the front gates or accompanied by a clansman around the estate grounds.
