My family is from rural eastern Washington, and we have a cabin that is about as "off the grid" as you can be while still having any kind of modern comforts. We've got an outhouse (a septic tank as well, but let's leave that out because of the maintenance piece, even though it was installed and has been maintained by family members for years now), a well, tons of electric blankets and really basic winterization, and enough room on the sleeping porch for 5 beds. There are also plenty of weapons there since it was built at the turn of the century and has been used by avid hunters for nearly 100 years now. We've got two generators and every tool imaginable (accumulated over years of visitors bringing/buying what we need to fix/upgrade the place)

We'd need solar panels (which don't pay off nearly as fast in a forest that has a brutal winter) or a windmill (surprised this wasn't listed as an electricity option - some neighbors up there have one, and while it isn't a replacement for modern electricity usage, it more than powers their electricity when they aren't there - a good start), and land for growing our own food (although it is in a forest with lax hunting laws that has wild edible vegetation, and on a lake filled with fish, some predictability would be valuable).

That's the original cabin. The new, more modern one that we built recently has an indoor fireplace and better winterization, but it likely requires more electricity and is connected to a public water source (should be easily remedied post-apocalypse since it is right on a lake).
