Actually we would be ok with it being a little more isolated. Closest services are 20-30 minutes away. We already have a solution in place for washing/drying clothes.Watched your video. Nice scenery , but that is too much isolation for me. Maintenance of the gravel road before you get to your yet to be installed driveway will be a back breaker. About the only way in or out will be with a snow mobile in the winter. Calls for Medical care will require a long wait. How far away is the closest gas station? Grocery Store? Hardware Store? Shopping Mall? I saw mail boxes but don’t remember seeing them in the last minutes of the video. Will you have mail service?
What about a washing machine. Most important when there is two feet of snow on the ground how are you going to dry clothes, bed linens, etc.
Being off the grid does not mean being isolated and a hermit, it means being without electrical or phone service.
