If trees are important to you, find an existing treed yard, if you plant it's 20 years till they shelter. Well drained, with services is best. adding power and gas is horrendously expensive. I would never live in open land with the wind constantly blowing. Think about that. Good luck, hope you have patience, and deep pockets.
The reason pioneers built beside water was for the livestock. They were planning ahead, just not far ahead to today. Most yards in this area are low lying.
