my friend just bought land an hour and a half from where he works. He was planning on working, and his wife would farm and tend to animals. The plan went to shit when his wife got pregnant. They realized they live in the middle of nowhere, and have no neighbors or family close by to help with stuff. Unfortunately, they are planning to move back to the city. They are lonely. Nice property too. It was there dream,,,

Long commutes are overrated. Been there, done that.
I'm 5 miles from the office now. Not as far innawoods or out of town as I'd like to be, but i'm kind of on the edge of town. Still close enough to restaurants/groceries/etc, and 15 minutes is a "long" commute to work (although when traffic really backs up it can take up to 45 if i'm driving the truck).
Load the truck/trailer up and head into the mountains on weekends, or take a vacation day and go play.
I've got coworkers who have 90-minute one-way commutes. That's 3 hours, every day, not getting paid for it, and not really able to do anything else. A few of them carpool which i'm sure helps, but

>60 hours a month

I think this is the right idea. I'd set up my /out/ land to be self sufficient on the weekends and camp in a van in the city during the week
I commute 70 km both ways to live next to the mountains/trails and really enjoy it, my morning commute on the bike is usually the best part of my day.
