Where I grew up I would say building your own home is almost as popular as buying one. But I wouldn't say the land is "nice." You can even do this in places close to Silicon Valley, such as the Santa Cruz Mountains. Although, there can be a lot of restrictions on the land use due to environmental and other zoning regulations.

One common reason why the land is cheap is that there is no pre-existing well or other easy access to water. If you have to drill a well, it can cost many thousands of dollars, and there is no guarantee of success.
