Creating a 3D map out of blocks

For my game that I'm creating, I want to make a map out of blocks, much like minecraft. It won't be randomly generated and it wont be infinite. It's going to be very basic, but large. Are there any good programs out there that can help me with this? I'm looking for something simple really. The idea is to make the map 500x500 blocks to start with, and keep putting blocks on top of each other to create the mountains and hills. The other thing is, the block type will definitely matter within the game. You'll be able to destroy pieces of the mountain, so I'd have to figure out how to create properties for the blocks within the code

You should take a look at the techcraft engine http://techcraft.codeplex.com - its an XNA based minecraft style engine which will give you a good idea of how to handle drawing and storing a map.
