We made this move 1.5 years ago. Live on 2 acres about 15 miles out from where we used to live. About 2 miles to the city limits of a small town (~2500 people). Love it. It is quiet, I get to do what I want when I want, no HOA, no city zoning, etc...
One piece of advice I have is to look at the deed restrictions before you buy. There may be restrictions on the deed that you will not like. Utility easements may mean you cannot put up a fence and gate. There may be other restrictions such as property appearance set by someone in the past. One of my neighbors cannot have a "non operational vehicle" on the property. The original owner sold a portion of his land and put that restriction on there. They bought it out of foreclosure, but the restriction remains. My property has 0 deed restrictions.
