Did you look into horizontal, such as with a backhoe? It's hard to see how that would cost an extra 20k if viable.

Unfortunately, due to the topology, it wouldn't be very viable. I don't want to cut down the hardwood (white oak, maple, walnut, and cherry) forest around the home just to install hvac when there are alternative options.
The real killer was knowing full well the house sits on or around a ton of limestone and the best quote I got told me it would cost a lot more if they hit rock.
