What do you think is the remotest habitable place on earth?

Question

By 'habitable', I mean a place where you could live with nothing more than a simple house and garden, so I'm not interested in extreme environments, ie, where it is very cold, very hot, very dry or very wet or is crawling with dangerous animals.

By 'remote', I mean scores, maybe even hundreds of miles from the nearest man made sructures, including roads and dirt pathways.

I'm writing a story about a man who has an impossible dream and requires a very remote location in order to realise it.
