It sounds like you really don't want to improve your signal quite bad enough
to make a major difference.  Life is about compromises.

 

That said, if you do plan to move in a few years and do plan to build a
tower, how about buying a Field Day type raisable tower and see if that can
go in the nice yard you have for some contests and buy a yagi that you will
use on the new tower later.  If you like SS and ARRL DX then it only needs
to be up for about 4 months a year.

 

You could make a 40M 4 sq if the trees were right an you laid down A LOT of
radials.  Other than that, I think its time to accelerate your land buying
plans or by an amp.
