Unless you are retired or independently wealthy, this would have to be a bug-out location. Most people live where the jobs are and for most professionals those are in highly urbanized areas. This site appears to be akin to a walled medieval town with the agricultural areas being outside the walls. Otherwise, they would need an extensive greenhouse or aquaponics infrastructure.

Depends on where it is in Idaho. I have an aunt and uncle near Boise whose home is close to a geothermal vane. They heat a fairly large house for next to nothing, mostly a maintenance fee for the conduit.

Their entire neighborhood does the same. It can be 10 below outside and their homes are a balmy 72 degrees inside. A control device which regulates the opening on the conduit keeps it within a couple of degrees.

There is a lot of this stuff which goes on in Idaho and most of the residents keep tight-lipped about it. They don't want a bunch of damn hippies moving in and ruining a good thing.

The city walls are so 1213!

To be the ultimate in bug-out, they should have a subterranean section, in case of nuclear fallout.

And a one mile oval with an interior road course.
