He has about an acre of land, and the house and barn take up about half, and the other half is just grass. If he is agreeable, can we do it?

Depends on the local zoning laws. Consult an attorney in your area for advice.

I dont know for sure... but I do know that in the state of California, in my hometown of Stockton, you can build whatever you want on your own land, if it is not an eye-sore, a nuisance, or a public health hazard. Shoot, with the right permit you can turn your own suburb property into a legal dump site. The problem comes in when you decide to sell. You cannot sell a house as a house if it doesnt meet building code. Also, you cant build without the property owner agreeing to it.

Those regulations are more local. I'm sure every city and county has a building department, and if you live in town, somebody will eventually see it and may report it.
Now if you live way out in the country, it could be several generations before anyone would notice it there, but you'll need to figure out the sewage, electric, plumbing, etc.TAke a look at

depends what that land is zoned as. If your dad agrees to it and the land is zoned for it there is no reason you can not. You might need to get a sub divions and a rezone. Go to the local planning office and find out what that area of the farm is zoned for. If you dad owns the land and he want to rezone it for a house to be build there it should not be a problem. It depends on the state/county you live in.
Good Luck

You have to get it zoned and partioned as........ building codes and such come into play. Without that your entire land will come into question.
If there is a fire or such.... he insurance company will not have to pay. People doing the work will be liable as well if say a worker injures himself. All in all....... if not done right the entire property gets lost, and it happens all of the time.
Lawyer first and then talk about building.

Depends on the deed, and county/state laws. You will have to get permitting so GovCo can say it is good enough.

You'll have to check your local zoning laws. No one can answer this for you unless they know who you are and where you live.
