How about slipform stone masonry? I think you commented on a thread I started a few months back - I've never done it myself - but you've got the perfect site for it. Rock is right there, apparently remote access (meaning you mix the concrete yourself) and it's the perfect "pay as you go" job.....versus ordering prefabbed walls.
IIRC, Hammertime had done it before....but I'm too lazy to search for it.

Slipform is being considered. Back in '92 I built a stucco barn (solo) at the site. I had to saw lumber by hand and fetch water for the cement from a pond down the hill. It should be easier this time with electricity, water and a cement mixer on site.
BTW, I got a qoute on prefab walls (that still require an expensive finish) yesterday. Shipping alone was $4200.
