Your walls need to maintain a minimum distance of 6-8 inches above ground level. This is very important so moisture doesn't wick up into the wall. Building soffits around the roof will also keep the rain away from the sides, and installing gutters is even better.
Build the walls with an exterior grade product and make sure you prime and paint all edges, or better yet don't build it with wood siding, just install 2" dow board over the studs and then install vinyl siding over the dow board, that way there's nothing to rot except the sill plate and as long as it's 6 inches above ground you should be fine.
