I don't know about what distances would work, but I suggest you try a mountain half the size half as far away. And if that doesn't work go to half again. Let us know what you find out.

I've modeled terrain that was 25 km away from the building without problems. But, ArchiCAD does have problems when things are 'too far' from the origin.
You might try Artlantis (free demo period of the download), which should not have problems - and handles more polygons then ArchiCAD as well, allowing you to bring in the entire distant mountain scape from Google Earth and look out your window towards it, rather than just a cone.

I think the problem is your Open GL distance setting not being set high enough.
