The challenge is not only finding a good house/good town, but also making sure there's solid internet access, unless you're OK with Starlink, as well as cell coverage.

Echoing another poster, if you were considering Richford, Bakersfield and Enosburg are nice rural communities nearby with some resources, although you'll still need to drive for a full grocery shopping trip. Richford is....ok, but there are much better options nearby. If you're coming from Bratt and like the "city" experience, St Albans is nice, and plenty of shops and services right in town, plus less than an hour into Burlington.
