Building vs buying home costs?

I'm very new to this. For high end homes does it ever make more financial sense to buy the plot of land and then design/build it yourself? (with a general contractor and architect)

Do you guys have any idea how much it would cost to build a house like this?

It's basically perfect but the location isn't ideal and it's rather expensive. Is this an avenue worth pursuing or should I just keep an eye out for the perfect house?
