My parents moved into a house way, way outside of town in the middle of no where. One side of the street is small lots with mostly trailer homes. The other side of the street is lots that are mostly 4-5 acres. That's where my parents' house is. The folks that built the house did exactly that, had the house built with minimal trees removed. For years my parents couldn't grow grass because of the shade from the oak trees. My dad passed away a few years back. She's had a few trees removed that were damaged by hurricanes so she's got a little grass now. When you're walking in the cleared area around the house, there's only 2 places where you can see the property line because of the trees and forest. Fortunately both side lots are also natural so she is isolated in her own little forest. You can't even see the end of the driveway because it's at an angle in the corner. It's pretty nice. It sounds like you were in a beautiful spot. Now you need to find another.
