Breathtaking Mountain Views

As McKinley Masters progresses with work on Lot #9, the Astoria Showhome can be seen in front of the amazing Alberta Rockies. What a perfect backdrop to frame your custom dream home!

Enter, Enter!

The incredible entry way feature at Willow Creek is underway - ground was leveled, holes dug and the impressive rocks put in place. Two rocks, each weighing in at 20 tonnes, help establish a beautiful, natural entrance. Sandblasting and engraving will get started this week and landscaping will complete the feature later this spring. A huge thanks to Kevin at Set 'n Stone for his hard work and expertise. Stunning!
