I would imagine building a cabin in the mountains may hinder connectivity a bit which is essential for remote work.

Starlink will fix this eventually.
You will also need to figure out security (from wild animals), waste, electricity, water, etc. Middle nowwhere has a different meaning when you are not glamping. Y'all should do a pros and cons exercise together.

Your wife is going to divorce you if you secretly buy a plot of land in the wilderness to maybe or maybe not build a cabin she told you she does not want

I would literally file for divorce if I married someone and they tried to push this on me.
Have you tried to compromise? Like don’t sell your forever home?
What about having a seasonal cabin somewhere? I live in vermont and tons of people own a 2nd home which they call their camp.
Perhaps you could rent your house a couple months of the year and split your time.
Life is short, find a way to live your dream :)

My stepdad has a few hundred acres in the middle of nowhere, it’s amazing. Hard to beat spending a week riding, relaxing, and enjoying the sound of silence.
We did this in 2020. We were living inside the city of Atlanta and sold our house to move into the Blue Ridge Mountains. Now we live on 15 acres in a town of 3000 and I’ve only ever seen/met one of my neighbors once. We both work remotely and committed to finding remote work moving forward. I’m never going back into an office or commuting - at least not anytime soon. If we decide to move back into a city at a later state, we’ll likely move back up north to the Northeast and rent our house out as a vacation home.
We’re at a stage in life where quiet is appealing to us. I’m nearly 40 and my spouse is nearly 50. We enjoy the isolation and living next to a national park. But I can’t say it’s something I would have even considered prior to COVID or when I was in my early 30s. It’s possible your spouse just isn’t ready for that yet. There’s plenty of time to buy and live remotely. Don’t rush it because you’re in some kind of hurry to live like this. Start with living in the suburbs if you need to get out of the city. Compromise and take steps rather than huge leaps.
Lol I actually would guess the pandemic and move to more remote work has opened a can of worms for many couples on where they want to live
If the land has any water rights that’s an investment itself. I agree with having it as a second home. You could also convert it to a rental or short term rental if you do need to move to a city again for work.
The what ifs are endless. But if you don’t do this you will likely always wonder what it would have been like.

I’ll go if she doesn’t want to
Just buy a van and go leave somewhere in the forest for a little, to see if may be you change your opinion afterwards

If Chris Farley taught me anything it's living in a van down by the river is certainly not all it's cracked up to be.
