Hill-top farm - least popular and usable?

I mean - you can also just move the entire house closer to water.

True. I've never used that relatively recent feature, so it doesn't come to my mind as a solution.

Moved it for the first time on a new farm, and it really opens up new possibilities.

I enjoy the hill-top farm over the wilderness farm, and I've been using the hill-top farm for more challenging vanilla playthrough. It forces you to upgrade your pickaxe and axe quicker. I like to plant the crops by the river, which makes it a harder area to plant the crops, but I like having the character not walk too far away from a water source. I actually use the hill-top farm more than the Meadowlands farm.

I enjoyed the hill-top farm when I used it, but at the time I had no idea it had a reputation as the hardest one to work with. I did manage a pretty good set-up for my purposes - I mean, that farmer was the only one where I achieved perfection. But I'm also really not the sort to try and optimize everything, either.
