Building in more remote areas (mountains)

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!

done it many times out here in CA OR and Wa.

you may want to search for parcels that have community water and a septic already installed..  

many times there will be an old MH on it.. just drag it to the dump .. just check to see if septic is big enough for what you want to build.
