Good to know you are researching before committing. Some get sucked in because it all looks so good and new. We live on 10 acres outside Ocala and 1 1/2 hours from either coast. I like space after having lived in close quarters for many, many years. I won't be able to maintain the acreage forever, but for now, it's great. There are horses next door (they let their owners live there, too).
Really, it just depends on what you like. Check out the surrounding areas and towns before you commit. Some wouldn't like being on acreage, as it can be isolating. Also, I like living in a place where there's a mix of young/old, different ethnicities, and different backgrounds. Whatever you choose, I hope you will be blessed and enjoy the move. And yes, quilting and golfing are popular activities as well as many others.
