I would live there if it had power (or a good spot for solar/wind generator)
but I don't think anyone will take my opinion to mean you aren't crazy.

I have grid power and well/spring fed indoor plumbing and that's about it.
No cable, internet is through a broadband connection. I'm sitting on the front porch right now.
Solar wouldn't work well as I'm pretty deep in a hollow and don't get a lot of light. That makes it a bad place for a garden as well. Wind generators would work REALLY well up here though.
It's not a SHTF place because of the lack of garden. But I could ride out a short uprising as I have a clear line of sight and an easily defensible position.
It's a lease, and a cool one at that.

grid power, windows and a porch? Right of way to get there? Sounds pretty good to me, whether you call it a cabin or a house with log siding.
Looks like a nice setting. I hope it's as pleasant as it looks.

All joking aside it is a very pleasant place to live. I'm a half mile off of a one lane dead end state maintained road, I have two neighbors I never see but can always count on, and I can PEE off my front porch. (Which was really convienient when I was a drinker. )
If you can't relax up here you need medication.
Except when bears and raccoons come in the house...
But then you get to shoot something. And that's always relaxing.

I'd suggest upgrading the home for animal proofing also. Try getting stainless steel mesh for the window screens. In sturdy wooden frames, (not the cheap aluminum jobs with rubber spline hold-downs) they'll hold out most animals. 'Coons can get through them, but not without a lot of effort and a lot of noise.
As for the bear,...
Maybe get a cat? :rof:

I had a bad bobcat problem in '10 it wasn't afraid of humans. Killed 11 of my chickens, one house cat 4 neighborhood dogs (1 rott) . Anyhoo, fish and game said destroy it. I tried but a Guy down the road got it. Thing caused a bit of havoc for a while.
