PORT ARANSAS, Texas - Southern Living Magazine officially announced the 2009 Idea House in Cinnamon Shore on Mustang Island. The press conference was held inside the beautiful home which is currently under construction.
Reporting on the event, the Corpus Christi Caller Times interviewed Derick Belden, Executive Editor of Southern Living. "I see this beautiful ocean, the dunes and I know we chose the right place." The entire article is available here.

The press conference just ended. There was a great turnout for the announcement. I will post links to TV and newspaper coverage once they are online.
What a dream house it is. I know the lucky person that will have the honor to purchase that home will enjoy not only the home but the wonderful view.
Carl & Ceil - Come check out the home this summer. It is very impressive.
