With that acreage you probably don’t have a HOA or other restriction on fencing, but should check to be sure.
With invisible fence you don’t have to do the whole lot - just the area where you want the dogs to stay. It does take some training time but once the dogs get it, it works pretty well. It won’t work in a power outage unless you have battery back up. Being invisible, it keeps your view open. It does not prevent other critters from getting in your yard, which might frustrate your dogs if they are chasers.
Traditional fencing is more expensive and you’re probably going to want to fence the perimeter to maintain your view. If your dogs are jumpers, or you get a lot of deer, you might need 6 feet or higher (my lab won’t go over 3 feet because she’s lazy). There are a lot of fencing options, though, and some would allow you to fence less and maintain the view somewhat. Fencing requires at least some maintenance, probably adds to resale value.
We used a long rope with a collar clip on one end, staked in the yard for a long time. One dog only else they tangle, no trees in the range of the rope for the same reason. That bought time before we decided which fencing to use.
