I use a 100 ft end-fed wire here, with insulated Flexweave. Vertical section is about 24 ft and I have six 33ft radials in the lawn. My plot is slightly smaller than yours but I have a tolerant neighbour who lets me use a tree in his garden to hold the far end up.

I use an SGC Smartuner which is located in a separate shed about ten feet from the radio shack. That set-up works OK on an IC-746 but also on my vintage gear like a Codar AT5 and KW-160.
