We have some kind of filter. That probably helps a bit. We also boil
the water. That removes the rest of the chlorine smell.

You don't notice the chlorine smell eventually.  At least I don't, after
years of drinking city tap water.

Why move to "suburbia"?  I'd rather hang with the kangroos on several
acres, personally.

 Me too, but the maintenance was driving me nuts. Mowing grass, getting
rid of blown over trees, removing fallen branches, having a broken
mower fixed again and again, etc. It's 6.5 acres, or 3 football fields
big, partially with trees, 2 bordering creeks. Sometimes we'd have a
flood that would bring in trees and branches from upstream. It never
stopped.
 

Excellent reason to move.  My last house was only a half acres but it still took a good amount of time.  Not so difficult in your 40s but not fun in your 70s. A couple of my friends have done the same in recent years.
