East Tennessee mountains are about 5 1/2 hours from Carrabelle, FL, which is a pretty cool little town. Got everything you need, multiple sheltered marinas, grocery store, fuel, mechanics, etc, but population of maybe a thousand. Probably less, actually. Plus cheap - can still get a slip with power for under $400 a month. Land's cheap in East Tennessee, and no state income tax. It's doable.
EDIT out there y'all got mountains closer to the coast than that, I think, but it's damn expensive. I think I'm stuck with the Redneck Riviera unless I win a lottery.
I've got an uncle up in the Smoky Mountains so if it came down to it I could find a place there. Even out here, though, there's cheap land if you go up into the winelands that haven't been developed. Only problem with living on the coast out here is to be near nice stores you've gotta pay crazy money, or pay a little money but live hours from anything. Depends how you can live. Ideally I'd just be able to buy Hearst Castle.
