Estimated U.S. Build Cost

For a home of this scale and refinement, expect construction costs to land around $180–$260 per sq ft. That places the estimated build in the range of **$555K–$800K USD**, depending on your region, finishes, and site conditions (land, permits, and siteworks excluded).

Why This Plan Feels Like Home
