  You could also try center feeding the dipole with one leg horizontal  
  over your property, maybe with a drooping end, and drop the other  
  vertically to near the ground with a horizontal run to finish off the  
  required length in the direction of your neighbor
  ..Link for the latter: http://www.yccc.org/Articles/double_l.htm.

  This is a very good idea. There is lots of info on the subject in articles 
referring to it as the Lazy U. It works best when the top horizontal wire is 
directly over the bottom one, and Dud G6CJ had some interesting theories and 
observations about that.
