Answer 1

If you are saying something is far away and to the southwest, it would be more natural to say to say (algo) está lejos hacía el sudoeste or (algo) queda lejos hacía el sudoeste.

Julian, I think you have got it right. - annierats, Dec 29, 2011

Answer 2

En el lejano sur oeste.

In the far ( distant) south east. To me, far, here , means at a great distance, far away, lejano, remoto..

I keep trying. - annierats, Dec 29, 2011

Answer 3

My house is very far south of the city.

Mi casa es muy lejos de la ciudad por el sur.

No, its much further north than the church.

No, es más adelante al norte que la iglesia.

Answer 4

I would try

Más al sur, oeste, etc.

Answer 5

I would venture " Más lejos al" which is very similar to "Más al", but speaks to the thought of farther (distance) opposed to more towards.
