I am debating on building a house, but afraid the stress maybe too much

especially since I have a sick wife. We have 43 acres on the water with 560 waterfront and a nice point that I can build a house with a 270 degree water view and every room having a view of the water. Everyone I talked that has built a home says it is way too stressful and would not do it again. I would make it turn key with a contractor septic, well, site prep, and a stick build. If you built a house, would you do it again? I am 64 and wife is 67. Wife is just in love with property, but I may just buy a house in Deltaville, Kilmarnock, Reedville area. ** Edited by VaTechie at 8/1/2026, 12:56:26 AM

I keep seeing something from builder’s brigade that has a book on things

Build it and then sell it to me! That sounds incredible.
