I know you would do that and the thought is appreciated. Thank you for even thinking of doing it. I'll just stick with simple and as easy as I can make it. Pay for it as I go as I will not go into debt for it. I'm making it fine in my fifth wheel and it'll take awhile but it'll be mine and paid for. I don't owe anything on what is here now (well those pesky taxes of $144 every year till they reasess)

Well looks like a motel room to me....sound familiar...lol
Just a thought, considering the stone you have available, ever considered a stone foundation? Or even a stone walled home? I thought of that so many times when I've been there. And use oak and hickory beams also from your property as roof and ceiling beams. Chinking/cement, fastners, roofing, doors and windows would be all you need to buy. Which h can be purchased as you say, as you go...
Just saying...

I was in a motel room this past weekend that could easily be made into a nice house. About 500 SF

Here's food for thought. There was a time when my husband and I were living in a small mobile home like you are living in your camper. We had decided to build a small home and pay it cash as we went. For ideas we visited mobile home lots and got floor plans of double wide mobile homes. Some owners even let us film the insides of the mobile homes under the pretense we told them we had looked at so many it's hard making a quick decision on the spot. By filming them we could take our time at home looking them over at our own pace. We did this because mobile homes always seem to have a space somewhere for something we wouldn't think of ourselves. Those floor plans helped me a lot drawing up a floor plan. What's eery is the blue print I drew of the home we were gonna build is so similar to the home we bought and of course my home is much larger.

Wouldn't it be fun if we could all get together for a long weekend, converge on TW and grab a tool and everybody working at once, build it for him? I can see it now... CL and CGU and me cooking for the crowd, Mud, Jimmy, TW and ZMan running around supervising and hauling supplies, Ceorlmann and USCGME up on the rafters nailing big scary boards into place, SG making sure we don't violate any zoning regs, CWI and Tjwilhelm poring over the blueprints and finding mistakes the architect made...and correcting them... ahhh good times...

That would be a fun time. But, zoning regs? What are they? When I bought this place I asked what type of permits I would need to build here. $25 flood plain certificate. That's it. Ahhhh, life in rural Oklahoma. So different now than when it was Indian Territory. Still surrounded by Indians but now we play Cowboys and Jihadis.
