Sorry, but I think you are right, mikewj.
I like to look at the floorplans of these places though, for ideas on room configurations. Since we would be building our own place we would add huge overhangs, creating lanai areas. Also roof ventilation is important, so no flat roof. We're definitely doing the site research. Building it yourself, provided you have the skills & know-how, is the only way I can think of to getting it down to a reasonable price.
