It was like that for me, the first year, until they harvested the corn!
I never knew so many OTHERS folks lived within a mile or so of me. (It's all flat here, with maybe a 10 foot change in elevation over a mile.)
I own about 30 acres of a ridge. It rises over 300ft elevation from lower part too upper at the top of the ridge or 450 ft off the valley floor. From my living room I'm looking out over a valley below me and the ridge behind me at my back window. Up on top of the ridge at the property line I can see two mountain ranges the Cumberlands to my north and Appalachians to my east. I can see into North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, likely upper Georgia as well. But to see north it has to be in the winter.
