Bakersfield, CA is getting on the radar. Lots of land, cheap real
estate, decent internet, a small-town feel, and it's about 2 hours from
Silicon Valley, in case you need to do a day a week in the office.

I'd be leery of the central valley in California, you don't need to
leave the urban areas very far to get into some sketchy politics.

I think agricultural tech is going to be a bigger thing; that's a
business where incremental optimizations can make a huge difference.
Salinas and Gilroy both have co-working spaces popping up in the middle
of very old-school ag-centric businesses.

There are some interesting, quaint, relatively inexpensive towns on the
central coast, but the kicker is schools. The public schools are pretty
good for elementary, mediocre at best for middle school, and the high
schools test poorly. If schools aren't an issue, that opens up a ton of
cool places that are still relatively in-range of silicon valley a
couple of days a week.
