Vick From Ga, Intentionally Bound! I Need Advise!

I have been strongly considering moving to the Moffat area due to open land, cheap price, amd vast wilderness. Other nearby towns are (saguache, monte vista, villa grove, south fork, etc) I want to start an intentional homestead, small but with room to grow. I still need enough population around to make money in construction as a part time job. Can anyone suggest if any areas discussed, or possibly any other area are adequate for this lifestyle?

Thanks guys, your experience is invaluable.
