I have the best of both worlds. My house is near a major city, Albany, NY. So it has good health care, airports, stores, etc, basically good infrastructure. It back up to acres of woods so I essentially have two neighbors, long term owners who are very nice.
We have a lake house in NH about 2 hours away, very pretty, quiet and more land then I know what to do with. I floated in the lake all day and may do some bass fishing in the morning.
My advice to anyone looking for a place to live is make sure it has the things you need or will need in the future. If grocery shopping is a two hour round trip think hard or if finding a doctor is a three hour round trip, think even harder.
Also pick a place that lowers your stress, not ups it.
This shot was taken today, that's the view from my house in NH.
