We bought our second house backing to a wall and have been very happy with the location and privacy. Best of luck.
We have lived with a water view out the back for 18 years and the water has never been very low as you say. We love watching all the birds and other animals. Some said it is like living in Candy Land. So sorry you have been having a bad home experience since you have lived here. A wall?
