Typically there's a right-of-way the builder acquires that extends 
beyond the boundaries of the widest part of the line (say 150ft).   This 
is so they can come through and fix whatever is needed, trim away brush, 
etc.    That puts an upper limit on the magnetic field that adjacent 
homes could experience (say 50mG for a high current 230KV line) .   An 
air conditioner or electric blanket could produce fields in that range.
