New Home in Entrada Del Oro (Gold Canyon, AZ)

New home under construction in Entrada Del Oro, approx 6 miles from Peralta Trails. Scheduled completion is late October, 2011. By the way, names like Peralta Trails and Entrada Del Oro are subdivision names - we're all unincorporated county within Pinal County, to the immediate east of Maricopa county. The nearest municipality is Apache Junction, although there are some shops and mini-malls in Gold Canyon. Here's what the house will supposedly look like when it's done (at least as far as the model and design):
