The only caveat (to living directly in the mountains) is that in any place where you're engulfed in nature, your Internet connection is going to be slower. It's too costly for the ISP to install or upgrade infrastructure to an area with less than say 400 homes per square mile. Past a certain number, it's just not a viable investment.
Satellite ISPs have been getting better though and DSL technology has shown at least a theoretical 800Mbps (in labs). Maybe someday it'll be possible to get great broadband in the mountains.

Second: Don't be scared if it is cancerous. If it is, it seems you've found it at such an early stage that a small surgery and some follow ups will ensure you're fine. If you're worried about the insurance affecting the rest of the startup, get insurance on your own (you don't actually have to purchase insurance through work).
