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.

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.
