I agree with most of what you say...except not completely on the road thing.
I think that might be a "it depends" or maybe a 2EachHisOwn.
Our property is on a Farm to Market Road..but it is basically
just the locked front gate. Only one way in and one way out.
No roads along either side or rear of property.
From the gate you can't see any structures or the big pond. I have a neighbor directly across the FM road and neighbors on both sides that serve as buffers. One of them is a great nosy neighbor.
Personally I prefer our gate being on the FM road vs being down a secluded dead end road.
But sparkie I can see good and bad to both.
