I live in a similar place, though I'm not off-grid.

The drawbacks for me are that "town" is about an hour away. But amazon delivers here.

There's no city life, no ordering to-go food or pizza, no movie theater, no ice cream runs to sonic. You have to plan ahead. Socialization happens online or with people in your own home, pretty much exclusively.

It's often hard to find anyone to fix your stuff--you become a framer, a plumber, a roofer, a mechanic. I consider this a net benefit, but it can be taxing at times.

That being said, not everyone does it quite like I do. All my neighbors have jobs in the city, for instance.
