It would be good to avoid runs over the house. A 500ft wire, extended off the left of the picture, terminated before it got to the house with a balun, then coax to the radio is what I might try in that situation.

My listening antennas (longwire and dipole) both have coax runs with baluns at the connection, and this really helps avoid sending noise from the house, down the outside of the coax and onto the antenna. They are nice and quiet, despite neighbors 100-200 or so feet away.

Cheers
