Share News:

Imagine a getaway you can enjoy year-round. Where there are no airport pat-downs, crowded lines, or idle waiting on the tarmac. Where an hour-ish drive gives way to wide-open spaces and water, trees, and sky greet you on your porch. Now’s a good time to find your year-round family escape at Long Cove on Cedar Creek Lake.

The 1,200-acre luxury lake community has become a second-home haven and a go-to weekend spot for many in the Metroplex. Here you’ll see home designs by Dallas’ most prestigious names in architecture — everything from these East Coast-inspired homes to modern farmhouse, luxe modern, and balanced transitional.

If a luxury custom lakefront home is what you’ve got in mind, Love Cove has released six new lakefront homesites in Long Cove’s newest neighborhood, Eastport. With spectacular open water views, this limited collection of custom homesites offers a variety of vantage points and lot sizes.

Or if more immediate gratification is where you’re at, Long Cove will release a new collection of Canopy Homes on Saturday, Feb. 19. Ranging from about 3,500 to 5,000 square feet, the Hickory, Mulberry, and Dogwood models are on point for family fun and entertaining friends.

Tucked in the woods with back porch views of a 5-acre pond, Long Cove’s Canopy Homes offer a new kind of experience. The new tree-to-tree adventure park and heated Eastport pool are just a flip flop walk away. All the other ways to play at Long Cove are also close by. Pickleball. Tennis. 2-acre putting green. Driving range and golf course. Sports field. Bayside and Lake Club pools. And miles of hiking and biking trails.

Designed by John Boyd & Associates and built by renowned Dallas builder Robert Elliott Custom Homes, there’s a lot to love.

The Canopy Homes have built-in bunkrooms, light-filled floorplans, modern appliances, spacious indoor and outdoor living areas, 2-car garage, and nearby docks maintained by Long Cove. And because these homes are already designed and approved, it seriously accelerates the process of getting into your lake home.

There’s a real sense of community at Long Cove. Events around every major holiday bring everyone together, so you really do get to know neighbors, their kids – even their dogs. They also have smaller events including; outdoor concerts, yoga sessions, Porching Hours, golf, pickleball, fishing, and sporting clay clinics, and local celebrity chef dinners. All great opportunities to meet, mingle, host, and toast neighbors and friends.

The amenities at Long Cove keep growing too. This year, Long Cove added a stone amphitheater and stage on Henderson Bay, large enough to host an entire orchestra for events and performances. Now, two new pools and a tree-to-tree adventure park are in the works.

Long Cove has something for golfers of all stripes, including a driving range, nine-hole golf course, and a two-acre putting green.
