Even factoring 11K in property taxes (not too big comparing to other towns), we could own this and pay exactly the same monthly payment as we do for our junior 4 (that means 1.5 bedroom) apartment in Bronx.

However, the commute would be a killer. When they say 2 hours, it is never actually 2 hours(that's each way), it is the most optimistic estimate that could ideally be achieved when all variables fall into place perfectly. So with current jobs it is not an option. If we had jobs where we would only have to go in 3 days a week or less, this could be a contender.
I have co-workers that commute 4-5 hours per day because they want to live in a house. Can't think it is a great idea when you have children though. I would never see my son, and wouldn't be home even to pick him up from the longest after school program.
It is nice to fantasize for few minutes about having that much space!
I could live here for the same payment!

You'd be bored out of your mind, hate restaurants, go mad with horrid, imported food, likely ROFLOL at cowboys, and cope with ghastly weather, negative 30, wind chill minus 90, skin will freeze in under 2 minutes. Car tires freeze square. and you 'thunk' down the road wondering if you have a flat tire. If you slide off the icy road, all the drivers will hop out of their cars and pull you out of the ditch...very co operative, very friendly

That said, the property looks amazing, and I can see why they would be charging that much.
