A light weight Spider Beam seems to be the preferences of 
DXpeditioners, as opposed to Hex Beam variants.  However for your 
situation, either may provide too high a visibility quotient.

Do some Due Dilengence on the use of  elevated SteppIR verticals, 
with or without the 80 M coil option .  When the base is elevated 
they only require a minimum of two resonant counter poise elevated 
"radials" .   The, up to 33' tall ,fiberglass mast, especially when 
painted gray is extremely friendly to prying eyes !  The SteppIR 
website, w/links, has considerable info on their applications. 
including their manuals.
