Set goals/progress milestones I did when I built up there. Building up there was hard, and I bought and built no where near the off grid desolation or acreage your buying, although when I started hitting milestones I knew I'd complete building my cabin and I knew it would be a great place for me and eventually my family for taking year round vacations for extended periods(not as extended as I'd like though) shh lol. For example before I even started building 1st for me was replacing the existing submersible well pump and backwoods rigging a water supply to my old camper from well, also getting rid of a old uninhabitable snake and rodent infested 50' mobile home. Biggest milestone I recall wasn't when I stood up the 1st wall on my new cabin I was building but was when I stopped staying in my camper and started staying in my unfinished cabin after I got one of the bathrooms somewhat operational. Do You have a camper? but no way to get it out there due to condition of road? Is there a shorter way in there maybe building a new shorter road in, right now sounds like your going to have to literally re build a mile long road that wasn't done right in the first place. Like I kind of said on a way earlier post when your property becomes hospitable to your standards hopefully you may take great pride in what you accomplished.
