I realize this isn't really related, but the Gov't ran a Highway thru my Pop's place years ago and paid such a good price, I remember him saying..."I wish they bought it all". It hasn't really been an inconveniece, and we have easy access. Then another company wanted an easement to run pipeline, that worked well too, but it was underground and remains the best area for hunting food plots. He did however turn down a sweet deal for a satellite tower...but that was due to my Mom and the concern about neighbors.
Catmandoo has lines very close to his pond, he can help with advice...he can tell you if flourecent lights really work without being connected!
If the lines are somewhat out of the way, enjoy the $$$, keep the cut trees for BBQ's, and accept this as progress. If you don't like it, there's a plot of land just down the road that looks fantastic! (lol, I'm not attached to my land, I'm attached to wildlife and water)
