Oceanfront Artistry

Frank McKinney’s Oceanfront Artistry

For nearly 30 years Frank McKinney and his team have created 3-D art in the form of the world’s most magnificent oceanfront and riverfront mountain estate homes, each set on a sun drenched canvas – the beaches of the Atlantic or the Pigeon River of Western North Carolina.

Frank’s latest creation? His new Mountain Modern design along the Pigeon River in Canton, North Carolina!

Offerings have ranged from $2.2 million – $50 million, and Frank’s sold inventory of 44 direct oceanfront homes exceeds $500 million.

Frank and his team travel the globe seeking to enhance the creative vision that is brought to designing each beautiful mansion. Exotic locales such as the Italian Riviera, Rome, Florence, Milan, South of France, Loire Valley, Bali, Fiji, Tahiti, Hawaii, Malibu and others are seen reflected in Frank’s creations.

Widely recognized as the industry leader building on the direct waterfront, Frank and his team apply the most rigid construction standards and technologies including solid poured concrete and steel roof, wall and floor systems, concrete pilings (secured 40’+ into the coral shelf below), metal framing, hurricane rated doors and windows, ultra high-efficiency mechanical and plumbing equipment, corrosive resistant metals and salt tolerant landscaping.

The offerings represented are subject to errors, omissions, prior sale, changes, including price and withdrawal from market without notice.
