I think you've misunderstood something somewhere along the line, since you seem to have translated industrial facilities, shopping malls, crowds, and all the rest of (sub)urban life into "anyone or any entity".

I'm just wondering - in your ideal living scenario, how far away from your domicile would you prefer that your nearest neighbor be?
It's hard to put an exact number on it, because it depends on the neighbors and the nature of the country. But pick a typical (but now, alas, probably a historic memory) English or New England rural area, with villages & small farms. Or perhaps the High Plains or the Mongolian Steppe with wandering bands of horse nomads...
