If, however, you are looking for low cost housing, have you considered getting an old cane house and having it moved to your site? Your annual land taxes will be very low since the house is already old. A couple hundred in taxes versus several thousand per year will add up over awhile. Hire a moving crew and a flat bed truck and there ya go! Some folks will give you an old cane house just for taking it away and they can be restored to a comfortable house. Cane houses are very much built for this environment and some of them are much more comfortable to live in than some of the new houses built to mainland perceptions.
You'd still need to put in the utilities such as septic/cesspool, water & power (either off grid or on grid) but that would need to be done for any structure you built.
This sounds interesting. Will Nanawale permit such a structure?
