The costs of a typical suburban house in the US can be broken down as: 50% land, 25% materials, 25% labor.
By living in the wilderness rather than in a developed area, the 50% cost of land gets cut substantially. By using Chilean workers, the 25% cost of labor is also substantially reduced.
Remember that Chile's GDP per capita -- while high for South America -- is only 2.5x that of China.
