Sounds a lot like my place. Although I am only 8 miles from town I am still in the country. I love watching deer and bear walk through my property. We also have a large crick that runs out back so animals like that too.
We actually have deer and herons and some very large "cats" lurking about even though supposely we qualify as a city. Personally I think we're just a really big town an idea helped along by the fact we only have one very large building everyone uses as a landmark.
