If you have no chimney or gable end to use as a mast mounting base, I'd suggest a 5' tripod such as the Ronnard #911, and a 10' section of 1 3/8" diameter chain-link fence top-rail. Mounted at the peak of your roof, you can mount an antenna at the 12' height above your roof which the FCC protects in their OTARD rules. This combination needs no guy wires and can be tilted over for servicing.
I'd opt for a Winegard HD7698P + an RCA TVPRAMP1R preamplifier. Use a starting aim point of about 300° per a compass, and fine tune the aim from there. Use a splitter rated for standard CATV/OTA bandwidth (5 to 1000 MHz) and with the number of output ports to serve the anticipated TVs.

If the well is dry and you don't see rain on the horizon, you'll need to dig the hole deeper. (If the antenna can't get the job done, an amp won't fix it.)
