This is an excellent choice, my current job is already remote. We are stuck in our current general area due to school for 2 years or so. After 2 years, we can move to country if things don't change.
Schools are absolutely a big consideration. I live in central Louisiana (schools are ok, not great). I made the move 15 years ago - sorta forced into it, thanks to hurricane Katrina, but it has grown in me. Remote jobs weren't a thing then so I started my own company!
I cannot imagine being in the rat race of big cities ever again.
