Last year I bought a really nice plot of land (half acre) in an unincorporated area that I'm planning on building a house on. The property has about 75 trees that range in type and size. In total I have roughly 25+ full cords of wood on the property.
I am a young single man and I only want to build something very small to keep my cost down and I don't need very much space. I'm thinking between 500-700 square feet is the range I want.
My friend mentioned to me today that I would probably be in really good shape and save money if I were to have someone turn those trees into planks/boards to build my house with. I'm even open to a log cabin style thing.
Seeing as I already own the land outright and am trying to keep the cost of my mortgage as low as possible, would this be a good idea? Can I really save significantly if I were to do this?
