When we were looking for houses we wanted to be near enough to medical facilities, groceries and shopping. We found that we could use pizza as a proxy for all of that. If there is a pizza parlor within delivery range of the house, the other services likely are nearby, too.
Other things to consider in the country are well water and septic systems. Neither is a problem, but it is different than city living with all the amenities (and taxes).

We've had 2 deer strikes here. Small roads, tractor jams, and the newest fun thing, road chip sealing!
We work in the burbs everyday and can't understand how anyone does it. Seems like a miserable life and our clients always complain about lack of privacy, traffic, etc. The air is terrible too, heck the temps are even higher.
I love life in the country, much nicer people, cleaner air, private, better driving, lower cost of living and better made homes if you go the 1800s route.
