If - if I happen to be watching Escape To The Country, and a “maturing” couple are looking over a gaff in the middle of nowhere, my first thought is always “BUT HOSPITAL”.

My thought tends to be how did those dullards manage to accrue that amount of cash? .......or you'll be divorced within a year having to spend that much time together with nowt else to do.
Yes! My OH is a GP in a rural area and half her patients are people who thought it would be lovely to relocate to the back of beyond when they retired, get sick, become unable to drive, demand house calls, moan about the NHS…
Had that exact happen about 2 miles from us. Bought a nice place on ETTC with a bit of land so they could look after some donkeys, llamas etc. Within a few months of completion he took seriously ill. 40 miles to the nearest decent hospital. Back on the market now.

(Someone had to spell that out to me when I asked if they'd ever planned to retire to Cornwall)
