Need some help choosing conifers.

I recently built a home on 2 acres and I would like to plant some conifers in an area that is between my house and my neighbors. I really don't want to plant the ubiquitous straight line of arborvitae that are closely spaced to create a screen. I have a good amount of space for these trees and I'd like to have a natural looking stand of pine trees. I'd also like them to not look like Christmas trees, if that makes any sense. I live in Eastern PA and I notice a lot of pines that have a trunk showing and do not have the branches going all the way to the ground. They are conical on top, but have more of an "alpine" look to them. Am I making sense? My house has a very Adirondack/mountain lodge look to it and I would like to play on that theme a bit.

Any suggestions?
