Every year, I'll spend two months in a mountain resort. It's a rural place. No busy traffic, not many people, etc. The rest of the year I'll stay in town tutoring students. I actually feel bored and tired.

Someone asked me why I love that place and I replied "I want to immerse myself in the rural tranquility after a year's tutoring".

Is my italic sentence natural?

It's OK with my deletion, but "want" isn't the right response to the question.

Are there any reasons that you use "I'll"?

(I think I'll leave your question to native speakers.:))

(Edit)
Do you mean #9 here?

A second thought: "I spend" will be better. But maybe "I'll" isn't wrong.

I was thinking "I need", which emphasizes the feeling that I like that place instead of the city. Is the following better?

"I need to immerse myself in rural tranquility after a year's tutoring".

"Will" is not necessarily wrong, but the present simple is more natural.

Yes.
