I would bid the project anywhere between $65 and $120 k depending on materials used.
Do not tear it down unless you have an engineer say the foundation is bad.
Whatever you do, hire an architect and an engineer.
If you are doing it yourself, it will be between $35-70 K in materials
Plus 5k in marriage counseling. ;)

How a lot will it cost to run utilities to the land? i do not care if a water line or a skill pole sits excellent on the boundary of the sources, it must be tens of 1000's of thousands of money to run utilities to a sources, no matter if the facilities are interior of attain. If the plan is in a flood simple, you've a troublesome time getting facilitates and coverage. do not bypass this step because you do not imagine it applies, it must be astounding the position you hit upon flood plains and it must be troublesome to eliminate. In some factors, timber, water and mineral rights are important, so that you ought to favor to do slightly diagnosis on that. that's what you want to initiate. good success!

With a remodel that large, you may as well tear it down & start over.
It would be much cheaper to put up a pre-fab house, some of which are VERY nice.

Does it have updates?
Plumbing?
Heating?
Roofing?
Fire-resistant construction?
Check these first, because otherwise you're in for a LOT of financial stress. You need to give a lot more information too - such as where EXACTLY it is...the propery taxes...etc.
