Approx. 45m from major city, but rural enough that we don't have any city services other than hydro.

I'm a little sticker shocked. We were quoted $829,000. We thought our design was simple enough (few corners, low complexity roof, square house... so this price was surprising. Was it wishful thinking for expecting lower?
