CantaMia in Estrella Living Certified Green! Grand Opening celebration

I attended a pre-Grand Opening of the newest community in Estrella - CantaMia last weekend.  WOW! As you drive into the community you are greeted with views of mountains full of saguaros, the sun beaming down on the lake, palm trees, a state of the art recreation center and model homes.  As I walked along the grounds viewing many inviting places to sit and just take in the beauty of the surroundings,  I felt like I was in an oasis in the middle of the desert.  It is a place worth considering to visit and live.
Contact me for additional information.  Home prices range from about $140k to $355k.
