Most cane houses are within that minimum size. We live in one of the oldest and smallest of them and it is 875 square feet so the newer ones are probably bigger. In this case "newer" is anything newer than 1910 so that would be most of them.
I don't know if Nanawale would allow a cane house to be moved there but I don't see why not. Calling and asking them would probably be the best thing and if you were preparing to actually do it, then having a letter from them stating it is okay might be best.
Does anyone enforce the "new materials" code? I know a lot of folks build with used appliances and such. I would suspect that if the job looked good when it was finished there would be no outcry of "used materials" no matter how much of it was constructed of previously used materials. In some areas, such as Carmel, California, they are required to use a certain percentage of used materials.
