I do live about 1 mile from a major highway though, so I can get places quick. I lived in a similar location for about 8 years. Rural but 30 minutes away from the closest major city. We had a half acre property, which was average in the area, yet the town we lived in had a Walmart, so it wasn't lacking in basic amenities. Now I'm living in this weird pocket just outside city limits where it's rural light but only like 5 miles away from downtown. It's basically a nature preserve where they built a city around it, so if you own a house in that preserve, you are basically in the wilderness but the city is a bike-ride away. --- Congratulations!
