If we live in our country house for two full years out of the previous five (i.e., we sell the city house and live in the country house for two years), then we can exclude up to $500k on it also.

Do I have this right?

Issues of depreciation of rental property don't exist. This place has never been rented out. I've been a landlord before. Once was enough!
Yes, you have this right.
