The problem with "the middle of nowhere" is the lack of socialization available. That's why a lot of people move to cities, even though the cost is a lot more.

Sure, it's great if you can work remotely and afford a really nice place in the sticks. But lots of people here even complain about going "stir-crazy" from sitting at home too much. Even if you're married, you're going to get tired of only socializing with that one person all the time, and never having any outside friends. You'll also get tired of never having any activities to do which involve interacting with other people. In a city, you have all that available: lots of other people, groups for various interests, etc. In rural areas, all you have are the people who live there, and their values and lifestyles will be so diametrically opposed to yours that you won't be able to socialize with them at all. So if you're not into fundamentalist religion, guns, off-roading, etc., moving to the sticks will condemn you to a very lonely life. And if you're an ethnic minority, it could be downright dangerous.
