Heyy! This question belongs in the English category so from next time please post it in the English group to get an answer. :) 

The first sentence,i.e our new house was just built between a forest of trees in the foothills, uses the word 'between' incorrectly. 'Between' is used when there are only two people. Since there are more than 2 trees, using 'between' would be incorrect. It should be 'among'. Hope I helped!
