Can you take capital gains from a second house and build another house on already owned property

I am selling a vacation home, can the capital gains from this sale of this home be used to build a house on another property that I already own to reduce the amount of capital gains I pay?

No. It doesn't matter what you use the money for. The capital gain on a vacation-2nd home is subject to tax.
