Just a few stories to toss out there....
We live moderately far out in the country. The nearest neighbor is 100 yards away; the nearest convenience store is 5 minutes away; the nearest town is 15 minutes away. It is rural, but not as far out there as I'd Love to be- I wouldn't have minded a house on the side of a mountain, buried in forest, the nearest neighbor somewhere over the ridge, the kind of 'living in the country' that requires stocking up the house with food and fuel to keep one for several months at a time, should the road get washed out, or one get snowed in.
Or maybe somewhere north-west of Dunwich, Massachusetts. Loo
