Hi, I love the concept of a coworking space surrounded by nature! I think the path will be easier in a more densely populated place *however* we have a microcosm of urban vs "rural" in Fort Collins I can use as an example.
All but 2 of our 9 coworking spaces are located in our downtown core. The other 2 are located smack dab in midtown and the other in a heavily populated/retail corridor. We are all doing well. We have a few tech campuses (think HP, DELL, etc. not coworking spaces) that are located on the outskirts of town. There are no restaurants or coffee shops within easy walking distance. What these companies have done to help their employees is to provide ample outdoor and shaded areas to eat/work and they provide on-site bicycles. I've seen packs of their employees out over the lunch hour taking bike rides together. The lesson is: provide ways for people to get outside *together*.
