very near; close proximity
Often used in compounds like 至近距離 (point-blank range) or 至近の (nearby).

I shopped at a nearby convenience store.
The culprit fired from point-blank range.

近接 is a technical term for proximity (e.g. in physics or military contexts), whereas 至近 stresses being extremely, almost touchingly close.
遠方 refers to a far-off place or distance, the formal opposite of 至近's sense of being extremely close.
至近 means 'very close' in distance, while 至急 (written with the same first kanji) means 'urgent, immediately' and refers to time, not distance.
Compound of 至 (extreme) and 近 (near), literally 'extremely near'.
