Charles - We have looked at existing homes, and this definitely would be cheaper, but we can't find anything we like. We also want a decent sized lot with lake rights, which also reduces the options considerably. Houses that this criteria come in two flavors - small houses packed into subdivisions (with a very suburban feeling) and monster lake homes. We have purchased a nice 1.3 acre lot with lake rights (no view, but a short walk to the water). We really like the lot as it meets all of our requirements. Regarding playing GC - I think this is the way to go, but not sure I have the time. Also, the home site is 90 minutes away from where I currently reside, so this is a challenge as wellI will be contacting a carpenter that I know well and trust that lives 20 mins from the lot - perhaps he can play GC. He used to work for a high end custom builder - so there is lots of potential here.
