Costs to build new in rural Vermont?
Does anyone have any experience building new in rural Vermont? Trying to get an idea what a range of cost per sf it would be to build. This would include everything but the land...including well, septic, power, driveway, clearing land, grading, foundation. Smaller Cape house. How much would a log home kit house run price per sf?

The cost of site work is going to vary greatly depending on the lot. Does power need to be brought in or is the house close enough to the road? Is the driveway 80' or 800'? The foundation could get pricey if you hit bedrock a few feet down.
If you've already got a lot it would be more accurate to call a local contractor. If you haven't got a piece of land yet, that info would be easy to acquire during the purchase process.
