OK, if my math is correct (no guarantees) that is slightly over $46 a square ft.
Add site preparation, utilities, fees, etc, might add another $30,000. Then catchment and solar panels will probably bring it up to $100 a square ft complete. That's very doable. (did that include the foundation?)
432 square ft would be enough to get out of the rain.
Of course, I see those 432 square ft cottages , on land with all systems in, driveways done, fences and landscaping in, for less than $60,000 in Puna. You'd have to really want something exactly as you wanted it to build and not buy one already done.
