I think you could find a cheaper place closer to civilization if you were willing to work on a fixer. If on the other hand, you want the solitude and land it would work out and you could work from home if you had the right connection. You could run it fairly cheaply on solar, but I am not sure of the water unless you wanted to dig a well and then I would test the water. There are some birth abnormalities and cancer clusters because of chemicals in the water. You could probably live there free and clear, but it might be a bit solitary.
