As someone who has lived in several different states such as Arkansas, New Mexico, Texas, Pennsylvania, California, and Wyoming. I would highly recommend Wyoming if you are self employed as it checks off most of the boxes you listed and depending where you choose you would not be too far from a drive down to Denver if you wished to go to a "Big City" for some shopping, more advanced medical care or sports events. I lived in Casper in the center of the state for 10 glorious years. You will find fantastic fishing, hunting, and a lot of like minded people there. I wish you the BEST in your search! Lots of open range, State and Federal Land to explore.

Official State Nickname of Wyoming
The nickname for Wyoming is The Equality State (Wyoming's state motto also focuses on equality; Equal Rights).
Wyoming was the first state to grant women the right to vote in 1869 (more precisely, women were granted the right to vote so there would be enough voting citizens to meet the population requirement for statehood). This action lead to the nickname The Suffrage State and then later The Equality State.
The Cowboy State
A cowboy on a bucking horse is Wyoming's official registered trademark), which led to some calling Wyoming The Cowboy State (the cowboy and bucking bronco emblem also appears on the U.S. Mint's bicentennial commemorative quarter for Wyoming).
