After more than six months since breaking ground, the model house at Echo Hills Cottages is in the finishing stages. Fighting the weather, we completed the foundation by early spring and have since moved forward with relative smooth sailing. We have now slowed down the finish work, and are starting to show the house to folks who have indicated interest in the project. We are also shifting our primary attention to work on the many aspects of infrastructure and community development that we need in place prior to selling. Let us know if you would like a preview.
