I did for 8 years. The land in the area was beautiful. Lots of wonderful hiking and mountain biking trails. People were nice. It was hard seeing family, since it was an eight hour drive. Real estate prices were lower. I’m really into music, and I went without seeing bands play for most of the time we lived there. I’m back in a city and happy. See concerts multiple times a month now. Living in a rural area was a nice experience, but I don’t think I’d want to do it again.
