Magna carta, as commonly understood, refers to a document signed by a King of England in 1215 AD. This document has influenced the British law significantly. However it is no longer a valid law in any country. It appears you live in New Zealand. I do not know if in your country the term "Magna carta" is used to refer to any other law. Also I am not aware of laws in New Zealand. However, frequently many countries do have similar laws, and therefore I am giving below my response based on understanding laws in India.
Building of house and other structure is regulated by law for two purposes. The first is to ensure the safety of the people living in and using such houses. The other purpose is to ensure that the house do not create avoidable problems for others. Even if you are building a house in a remote place, there may be some legal restrictions applicable to save the immediate environment. For example, Indian laws require permission for cutting down any trees, even in forest areas, to clear a ground for making a house.
Thus some legal provisions may be applicable for building your house. I suggest that you find out what these are. Hopefully, the process of building a house for self and family in a remote area, will not be too complicated.
