I do not live in a rural area but considered it enough to build a second home in Ga mountains. It took me 10 years to build. Since it was a days drive to get there I spent my holidays and summers there swinging a hammer.
It was 10-12 miles from a town with more conveniences than what you are describing but the drive was 40+ minutes round trip every time we went for groceries, medicine, hardware supplies, or just to get out among people. That was at least 3-4 times a week. It got so old that after the construction years we finally sold the house and the 5 beautiful acres.
Now we are in our 70s with some medical issues and I can't imagine the difficulties if we lived there.
I wish you luck but maybe your experiences will be different.
