As for off the grid, I'd rather be "on" - but I was wondering if technology has progressed enough to make "off" livable? Grid-tie is perfectly livable already, not sure about fully off-grid.

I have too. I live in a house that is much smaller than average, and never feel the need for more. I see bigger houses, with a bunch of empty unused rooms, etc. and it just looks like more headache to me.
For 2 people, I think 800 is totally doable, esp. if well planned.
Off the grid, hmm, not sure about that, though. Electricity probably wouldn't be a problem given modern tech, but water could be. I suppose, though, you could have a huge water tank that gets filled up when needed, and a septic system, solar, etc. Would have to be somewhere where you could pick up cellular and Internet, for sure, though. That would be a deal killer for most.
