We bought one little house that had two sinks and a shower going through a pipe that day lit above the creek. The toilet, thankfully, went into the worlds smallest septic tank. After much head scratching we bit the bullet and had a new County approved septic system put in for everything. Could have done some cheaper commando options... My neighbors washing machine dumps out on our shared dirt road. It's great, keeps the dust down when they are washing clothes.
Agree with what others said about overkill. If you can get equipment in there I would put in a homegrown septic tank and drain field. I have seen some long linear drain fields dug here on steep slopes by day laborers. Basically long ditches switch-backing down the mountain. If your soil really doesn't perk you can dig out an area and backfill with sand and rock. That gets expensive.
