A lot of people manage it. It’s honestly not that bad but you can’t be shy of doing the work. The pipe dream is people thinking it’ll be a turn key solution. “All I need to do is buy solar, drill a well, put in septic and build a house, how hard could that be?” It’s amazing how much you don’t know until you try it. My recommendation to anyone living in a city and looking to escape is to just buy a regular house in a rural area, no cabins, no farms, for sure not a yurt. Just buy a bungalow on a half acre and try it out, there’s going to be enough stuff to keep you busy. If you can take all of that in stride while improving the property and not be sick of it or bankrupt yourself then consider selling in a year or two and buying something a bit more daring.
