Does anyone know if I can buy a yurt there. I've read several articles about eco lodges being built there for $20.00 a square foot.

Well,
Seeing as you haven't gotten a ton of responses, thought I'd jump in.
Firstly, I didn't know what a Yurt was. Maybe related to a Yak? LOL. So, after I Googled what it was, I'll say this.
The folks in this country are fantastic, resourcfull builders.In my looking up the term Yurk, I saw on line, plans available. If some one isn't activley building them now, I'm sure you could buy a piece of land, and have one built with your plans. The Yurt isn't that far removed from the Tikki Hut's, so I'm sure they could build you one. There is a guy on the boards that is very resourseful, and has had some very " frugal " places built. If you are interested in contacting him PM me, or you can research Dom. He's on this forum frequently.
Anyway, it's an avenue you might want to consider.
Good Luck
