BIG tree's to plant on my farm? Live Oak?

I own a large farm in central Virginia. I have a tall, highly-visible hill that i'd like to plant a few trees on. I have several mature oak tree's on the historic property, all of which are over 70 years old. Im trying to find a tree that grows fast, gets very wide and has interesting appearance. And will withstand winds. I love Southern Live Oaks, but they grow allittle slow (2'-4' annually). I'm thinking about weeping willows because they grow faster but im not sure they'll grow quite to the size i'd like. Are there any Oaks that grow fast and get BIG?

    Ceder elms make a large tree . I think you should plant several types of trees . Don't put all your eggs in one basket . Check the USDA web site for recommendations in your aria . Maples are beautiful but are toxic to horses .
