Shipping container house
#11
Nice idea in theory, but insulation alone won't cut it. Maybe some form of geothermic heating for the winter.

If you set this up anywhere with a temperate climate be prepared to fight 'murica every step of the way. In California building a house like this would probably amount to a crime/jail time, whereas in many other areas where big brother won't care, you won't last the winter.

That being said you can certainly pull this off. Gotta be out in the boonies, and make sure you pull your permits properly, but many states (especially in the midwest) allow for this kind of stuff. Here in Michigan you can do just about anything you want on farmland so long as you got the permits and inspection approvals (some cities may be stricter with what you can do/what requires permits). And because Michigan is a frozen hellhole land is not exactly all that expensive.

One thing you are overlooking is electric service - "putting in" electric service can cost tens of thousands if the utility has to drop new poles/run line to your house. Electric doesn't just magically teleport to your location, and the grids in the boonies are much larger than you think.
And forget about any kind of internet, its the satellite for you. @Raider Hanks can tell you all about hickville internet
