Assuming you already have power to the gate, why not investigate an

In hind sight, that may have been a better choice (although it leaves
an unsightly pole standing up out of the ground).

But it's too late now as I've been using the current 50' car sensor
for a few months. Currently it's above ground but with all this heat,
it could break down as it's designed to be buried.

No, I mean something like a door annunciator. When the door opens, a signal
is sent to a remote ding-dong device. There are probably even
battery-powered ones. You'd just have to align it so the movement of the
gate triggers it.
