In my many years I have lived in several farm houses here in Michigan and the best location I ever had was a house on a pretty level site on the north side of an east-west paved road 4 miles from the nearest sizeable town. Facing south, the house benefited from the most sunlight in the winter and the big windows facing south were shaded in the intense heat of the sun in the summer by a really nice covered porch 16 feet long on the south side of the house. (Where we were "swangin" on many summer and fall evenings) The north and west sides of the house had just a few windows except for the built on back room/mud room that had several windows but was fairly well insulated and all the windows had tight fitting storm windows for the winter and nice screens for the summer. the kitchen facing east got the maximum morning sun but was fairly cool on hot summer days as was the south facing dining room and living room. No location is perfect but if I was able to "pick my spot" I would choose that type of location and basic house design as it seemed the best, all things considered.
