Yes, this is kind of an experiment to see how we like it. Thus far it is working out well. We do like the privacy here actually; before we had people dropping in all the time (not family) and I don't miss that. Traffic here is very light and easy, straight shot, and where we have to commute to once a week we drive early and late enough to avoid the rush hour getting out of the city, and enjoy the scenic drive once we leave the city. We also enjoy the quiet, though the woods surrounding us are full of jungle noises at night.
