Check out Prescott, AZ. It almost meets all of your criteria, except for maybe proximity to water. It's not far from either Phoenix, AZ or Flagstaff, AZ with Flagstaff being a college town. It's high enough elevation to have pines and has really mild winters (it can snow, but that's still fairly rare). The closest lake would be Lake Pleasant, so check out the distance from Prescott because I'm not sure what your requirement is for how close to water you want to be.

eta: So Prescott is a bit further away from Flagstaff than I remembered. Sedona, AZ might be a better fit for you, but again, proximity to water would be something to check in to. Arizona has lots of little man-made lakes from dams.

Sedona is for rich people and tourists, and is far from the cities too. You're not going to find CNC routing jobs out there at any rate, more like hand made cabinets that have magic crystals in them. Pretty much everything in AZ is at least an hour from anything else. Besides that calling phoenix or flagstaff cities is a huge stretch, and the people there are midwestern and southern conservatism distilled into one state. Texas is considerably more liberal if that matters to the OP at all.

It's a nice place to visit (Sedona in particular is beautiful) but there's a lot better places to live.

e: ah the op wanted college towns as well- Flagstaff is nice but isn't really what the op is looking for and there's not much nearby either.
