We live in Water Valley and work in sw Calgary. Our commute is 1 1/4 - 1-1/2 hr each way. We basically traded what we were paying in taxes for vehicle costs.
If you have busy schedules with kids, that could be a challenge.
We've been doing it for 4 years now and love out country lifestyle/property way too much to go back.
It's not for everybody.
It's best if you have a flexible schedule, but during good weather our driving times are always within 5 or 10 minutes accuracy.
