It depends where your living and how long you have to prepare, if on a farm with a good clearing around the say 30yrds round the proprty then thorn bushes planted as a thick 6-10ft wide boarder are pretty hard to get past forming a wall of thorns. Then have a conifer boarder round that and have a decent gate with a back up barricade.
From the outside your house will look secluded as only conifers will be visable and as thy are evergreen your secluded all year, but once there through the conifers no one is going to want to crawl over 10ft of thorny rose bushes or brambles which just leaves the main gate which is the only point you would need to defend. Ideally I'd have a double gate with a cattle grid between the two (still looking like a farm house) to detere anyone climbing your first gate as the risk of breaking a Leg on the cattle grid is too much.
