Look into underground structures that utilize the thermal constant of the earth to regulate your environment.
Look into what past populations have done to construct houses in the most bullshit and uninhabitable environments.
Adobe and earthbags are a great place to start but you have to design your game plan around the unique conditions of your property.
For example, I bought a rural plot of land out in the country and I have no idea how deep I can dig before it's just pure fucking limestone. Best case scenario is that it sucks dick digging a pit greenhouse and a simple underground house. Worst case scenario is I build a fucking Alamo.
Have fun with it, man. Look up Mike Oehler; dude wrote a book on how to build a 50$ underground house.
You will fuck yourself if you try to build a McMansion in the desert. Try some weird shit out.
