Tell us about your age and health, your finances, your time for the project and your ownership of the timber you propose to cut.
You can surely cut enough wood with a CSM to do what you want but it'll take a lot of hard work and a couple of months to accomplish if you can keep at it every day. If you're a young guy in good shape you can do it. If you're an old guy you can still do it but you might choose not to do it.
If I were you, I'd look around for a person with a mobile bandsaw mill and make a deal on shares that didn't cost you much but leveraged your timber by letting it help pay for what you need cut for your project. Then buy a Granberg mill for your current saw to use for beams or special cuts you might want to make. You wouldn't need a big one - 24" would be fine and easy to handle with your current saw attached.
edit:
The other thing to consider is that it takes the same amount of work to cut a 1X6 as a 4X6 as a 6X8 -- all of them need four cuts with a chainsaw mill. You can gang some together and save some work but not much. Think about that when you design the structure. Fewer but bigger pieces are faster and easier for you to make.
