Most people wash their car only in the spring up there. The down side to the gravel is it is really hard on windshields. You will notice more than half the cars up there with major cracks in their windshields.
There are tons of dry cans for rent all around the area. Haven't really looked for them for sale. I have been looking for lots over 100 acres so not sure what small lots would go for. For undeveloped land 1000 an acre is a good starting point. A lot of them are on city power, but I am sure there are a few of off grid cabins to be had as well. Once you get off the main roads most everything is dirt/gravel. With the freeze/thaw cycle the dirt roads are usually better than the paved ones.
A few of the parts suppliers online sell plug in block heaters that go into a freeze plug. Another good addition is a oil pan heater. It is a silicon mat that glues to your oil pan. For your batteries I would recommend a trickle charger rather than a heating blanket. It will not only keep your batteries from freezing but will also top them off. Learned that one the hard way in my Subaru.
