Finding planets that far away is great, however I wouldn't count on life coming from what would likely be a high-end flare star, or a small sun. Either way, the habitable zone will be too close to the sun (likely 20% closer than mercury) and getting hit by repeated and large flares could prevent ozone building up and allow UV light to steralise the planet's surface.
However, I don't doubt natures ability to adapt. So there would possibly be life similar to our radiotrophic fungus, however I doubt there'll be many sentient fungais out in the universe.
