My brother and his wife built a "modern" yurt from a kit sold by an Australian company.

I think it turned out nicely - http://instagram.com/barefootyurtlife/

How much does a house-sized one like that cost?

The kit was $50k AUD, which is the entire frame, roof, capola on top.

You can buy as little or as much of the kit as you want - i.e. siding for the outside, flooring, etc.

That looks incredible.
