There is a low probability I would rent a space like that. If I lived somewhere close enough to have deserted woods (where there could be multiple cabins with trails) within a 20 or 30 minutes drive I think that implies a low cost of land.

If that's true my first priority would be to have either a house big enough for a separate office or even enough land to have an office shack or floor above my garage. A separate work cabin that involves a commute doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

It's okay if you just didn't go into detail but I don't see anything about a kitchen, and the remote location kinda implies there isn't anywhere nearby to get food. Nothing nearby is totally okay as long as I have somewhere to make or at least reheat food. Firepits aren't enough if they're the only method of cooking because it can be pretty gnarly outside and I don't want making lunch every day to involve making a fire, dealing with rain, and getting smoky.

All great points. The idea came about when I started considering building a cabin nearby either on my property or somewhere nearby. I like the idea of an office cabin but it seemed a little too solitary for me. Then I wondered about an office cabin community and what it would look like.

You make a great point about kitchens. Dutch oven is a nice aesthic and would be fun occasionally but day to day there needs to be at least a microwave.
