His Drop Ins included walking around my property when we were inside the house (we would see him walking past the windows). It struck us more as odd than anything, then moved to being kinda rude.
OP, if he's walking around the perimeter of your house on your property, can't you put up a fence separating the front from the back, so he couldn't get into the back yard, or even the side yards? Or is the property too big to fence in?

It’s over. The OP said they miss the city and are already house shopping, serious, moving,mits over for country living.
Were pretty new to living in a rural area (we're on a long skinny 3 acres). Our neighbors wander over unannounced when I'm out in the yard doing things (I also had a friend doing the same for a bit) I'm told by workmates that thats how people are in the country. Coming from the city I find it kinda rude to come over with no call-text etc- but dont want to be mean to my neighbor by saying something (I've tried to get my point across by joke but not working).
It's not an either/or, be mean or say nothing. Say in a friendly way, "Listen, I have to concentrate on this now, but can I stop by to chat tomorrow?"
It's interesting how you're trying to dispel any negative stereotypes about people living in rural areas while negatively stereotyping "city people". People living in urban areas aren't somehow inherently bad while rural people are inherently good.
A few years back, my mom went on a mission trip to the Kentucky Appalachians and she was shocked by the way of life there. Sure she met some great people BUT there were also some truly terrible people living there. She worked with a women's shelter and the stories of incest, rape, alcoholism in the region was mind-blowing! I've lived in a major metro my whole life and there are plenty of good people here too.
If you went to a woman's shelter in a big city you don't think you would hear the same stories?
