Building in more remote areas (mountains)

[Sam T.]

Does anyone have good experience building a mountain house on a vacant plot of land? I'm thinking/fantasizing about buying some land up in the north GA mountains to then use as a vacation rental (and for myself of course) but I have no clue what that would entail, especially at the start of the process.

I have to imagine getting electric, plumbing, etc ran to the property would be a bit of a project, but I'm clueless as to how much so, and whether a project like that could work out as a good investment.

If anyone who's ever done completely new construction in a remote area like that could offer their input and advice on how to get started approaching something like this, it would be much appreciated!
