Approximately 15k residents, a college town but very rural very fast outside of town. A little over an hour to Pittsburgh if you need anything there. A little over an hour to Ohiopyle and the Laurel Highlands of PA. About 2 hours to Allegheny National Forest.
If open to NY, Plattsburgh, Gloversville/Johnstown, Rome, Glens Falls and Saratoga Springs puts you close to the Adirondack Mountains. You should be able to find properties that fit your criteria around each of these cities, if not for less in some cases.
Fwiw. Driggs & Victor are both tiny and not in line with OP's criteria.
Driggs was stalled at 2,000 people before pandemic / don't know what happened in last year, while Victor is still slightly growing at 2,400.
Small towns with some commuters to Jackson and some remote workers / retirees.
Small, quiet, pretty but over 100 inches of snow per year and too small & isolated for a lot of folks, even many of those who think they might want / can handle that. Best be sure that is what is wanted. The towns might grow substantially beyond today's size someday but it is speculative and they'd still be too small for many at double or triple the size and probably will take decades to grow that much.

I figured there was a reason people didn’t flock to that spot. Location looked to good to be true so close to best area possibly in the world…..
After somemore thinking over time about this I am liking the idea of the higher elevation towns in NC and Virginia. I am hoping for a hobby farm type setting and would like higher areas so I still winter and hopefully the cottonmouths and copperheads are in the lower areas. I hate venomous snakes.

I've spent a good amount of time in Western NC , hiking in the mountains there and Have only seen a handfull of snakes , 1 being a copper head. I would avoid Asheville , but towns outside of AV like Black Mountain, Mars Hill , Marshall , Brevard, Benardsville, Hendersonville, Weaverville, Franklin , are worth looking into , (Cashiers or Highlands if you can afford them are above 3k feet).

Wow that's a nice property. Tucked away little forested paradise in a way.
Pennsylvania has so many nice areas, rural and city.
