So theirs this website and it has floor plans. THis house http://www.builderhouseplans.com/uncompromising-luxury/pid/147101759 is really nice super big but says its $758,999. How accurate is this and I know this is with out the land.

1. It is 100% accurate, just as the advertised price on EVERYTHING for sale must be....
2. thats probably not too far off assuming a builder is involved
3. over 5,700 feet. that's a big house. some nice touches. wonder if your price includes the pool? i know an old guy locally spent $500k on a log chalet, considerably smaller and he cut corners and did some of the work. cost to build a home can range from $80 to over $200 a foot. yours is $131 per foot not including the land. that's not outrageous. there are ways to considerably cut your costs.
4. It would cost more than that around here. That ad says "uncompromising luxury" and around 5700 sf. An ordinary house here, with no fancy stuff, would cost at least $150/sf, so 5700 sf would be $855,000. "Uncompromising luxury" could easily be, say, $225/sf, a little over a million and a quarter. It could be even more, depending what kind of luxuries you wanted.
5. A few things to figure that they don't mention. Yep Land, something that big you will want a big chunk. okay, driveway, pad to build on, foundation, do you need a well? septic, power, planning & permits. Okay that is just to start. With that big of house you could spend 500K easy before the walls even go up.
6. Appears they only sell blueprints. One can make their own blueprints based on your local city codes, and with some type of blueprints understandings.
7. It could easily. It also depends where Wu are building it. That dollar amount may only include the cost of the foundation, lumber and I assume the labor. Things like all the landscapping, plumbing, sinks, showers, tubs, flooring, windows etc., may not even be included! It could end up being a 1.5 million dollar house, by the time you're done. You'll have to check into it a lot more. Find out what that $860,000 is actually going to get you.
