100,000% no. Not worth it. We should have found a shitty house on a nice lot and torn that down to all but the foundation and a single wall so it could still be considered a "remodel."
We totally underestimated the cost and complexity of building in our specific municipality. Now the OP here may well be in a part of the country that's like "Hey, it's your land, go for it." But in our case the red tape and other bullshit requirements are going to easily add $300,000 to the project before a single nail is driven into the house.
