Yes my house is higher than the surrounding area --- but my basement,
where the sump pump is, sits in a big hole.
gravity is highly reliable and it will end your flood concerns
Gravity is highly reliable to bring ground water into my basment and
cause a flood.
amazing how many people have sump pumps and homes sit above
grade......
My next house will not have a basement, nor will it need to have a
sump pump because it will sit above grade.

There's nothing lower around here except my neighbors basement. Not
