Amy Farris Will Have You Sold on the Easy Life in This Glorious Second Home Community

Share News:

There are lake homes. And then there are Long Cove at Cedar Creek Lake homes. 

The difference could be likened to indulging in a good steak dinner. You can do it all yourself – go steak shopping, marinate and grill it, spend hours prepping sides, eat, and then clean up the mess you made. Or you could visit a five-star restaurant where pretty much all you have to do is chew. Those around you do the heavy lifting while you revel in the ambiance, visit with dinner companions and listen to the jazz trio in the corner. 

For some, there’s great joy and satisfaction in taking the first route to the steak. It’s more work but the sense of pride and accomplishment afterward can’t be beat. Still others find value in the second, paying extra to enjoy free time and other offerings by delegating certain tasks to others. 

If you’re an “other,” you should know easy is at the core of everything Long Cove. Ebby Halliday agent Amy Farris currently represents three new construction homes at the exclusive lakefront enclave. Long Cove encompasses 1,200 acres at the deep end of the Cedar Creek Reservoir. 

“The key differentiators of the kind of ‘lake life’ Long Cove presents,” Amy says, “are the concierge service, abundant recreational opportunities and a sense of community.  For example, the concierge service offers residents everything from house cleaning to maintenance so they don’t have to lift a finger. Instead of spending your weekend fixing and maintaining things at your own lake home, the concept here allows you to truly relax.”
