My Ex’s family bought ten acres south of town. Tall flammable grass giving over to mesquite. Impossible for them to keep up with and the small house on the lot is subject to burglary when they aren’t there because it cannot be seen from the road.
The elderly brother of another friend lives alone on a cattle ranch, hard to imagine but he ain’t really a firearms kinda guy, never has been. Wouldn’t be hard for a miscreant or three to take him out. Might not be found for a week or more.
Actually, I don’t mind having close neighbors, we watch each other’s stuff.
"...if the gentlemen of Virginia shall send us a dozen of their sons, we would take great care in their education, instruct them in all we know, and make men of them." Canasatego 1744
