More things you should think about from our reader Sally:

We found out that there were many more additional things to consider – yes, after the fact. Here are a few that we ran into:
Will you have to carry additional (and pricey) homeowners and medical insurance – such as helicopter transport insurance in case of emergency – because of the remote location?
What local resources are available in case of wildfire, and will you be able to store enough water to save your place? Will there be others nearby who might help? And will there be additional fire protection fees in that area – and are insurance companies willing to provide insurance there?
Check the cost of that county’s permits and other fees before buying. Also check what the county’s current requirements are with regard to septic tanks so you’re not hit with surprises…
Find out how reliable the local phone, VoIP, or cell service is, and if there’s more than one service provider in that area. It matters.
Have the water tested. I can’t stress that enough. If at all possible find someone who’ll test for molds and fungus. The testing companies are only set up to test for giardia, e-coli, and the like. The fungus / mold in our water made us both sick…
Know that no matter how much research you do prior to buying rurally / off the grid, you’re going to be surprised by a lot. Trust that – and keep on keeping on.
