Our family grows/raises most of the food we consume.  It's nice
knowing where it all comes from and how it was treated and prepared.

I don't have all that within walking distance.  It's a 5 minute drive
to the nearest hospital, for example, and 20 minutes drive to an
international air****t (PDX.)  But we do have a grocery store (not a
supermarket), a pub, a restaurant or two, and many, many parks all
within easy walking distance of home.

Okay.  I'm having fun.  I hope you don't mind if I post a few links to
pictures.

These pictures are from my own land, showing paths that proceed from
my home into the wooded parts of my property:

That will give you a flavor for the flora.

Mt. Hood rises up from sea level to about 11,300' and is about 15
miles from my home.  Here is how it looks from a lake that is very
close to my home (in the summer):

This water fall (among literally more than a hundred within a short
distance) is about a 15 minute drive from home..  over 600 feet:

The Columbia River flows by Mt. Hood's northern base.  This viewpoint
is actually closer to my home than the above falls -- about a 10
minute drive:

All of the above is in relatively easy bicycling distance.

In Oregon, it is illegal to own or fence or otherwise control coastal
land.  Some 400 miles of coastline is public land.  The only state of
the USA that does this, I think.  In any case, here is one photo of
what our coast partly looks like:
