I live less that than 3 miles form 4 major highways yet, I can go 4 miles east or south of me and find farms. Snakes? Well I have not personally seen any, except for garden snakes, and those in the zoo. Good luck in your search. Wherever you go, as long as you are with the one you love, you will be home.
