Stress should be on the fact that 5 acres is just tiny in this context. Even Texas, very lax gun laws, has a 10 acre minimum in most areas to be able to fire a gun or hunt. My family has 100 acres in remote part of Texas and neighbors can still be a pain in the ass. They also see your coming and going so unfortunately you will likely he burglarized by a neighbor at some point. We keep trained guard dogs on the property at all times and have video footage of them chasing off several people from trespassing (likely there to steal stuff).

Yeah 5 acres is an exurban neighborhood type setup. 5,000 acres would be more private.
