What’s The Secret Sauce For a Perfect Lake Home Community? At Long Cove, It’s Amenities

Share News:

Having a home away from home on the lake is a beautiful thing. But then what?

Ideally, you get the best of both worlds — A haven and go-to weekend spot, plus a fun community with so many ways to play and where neighbors make easy friends. That’s the secret sauce that makes Long Cove, the 1,200-acre luxury lake community, right where you want to be. And at only an hour-ish from Dallas on Cedar Creek Lake, it couldn’t be any easier to getaway.

Places to Go, People to See

There’s a real sense of community at Long Cove. Events around every major holiday (and even some that Long Cove makes up) bring everyone together, so you really do get to know your neighbors. Plus your kids will have built-in friends. (That means the teens will actually want to go.)

A brand new adventure park is just one of the growing list of amenities Long Cove has. The Treehouse Adventure Park is a tree-to-tree playground with swings, a treehouse, a ropes course, and a kid’s zipline.

Long Cove has something for golfers of all stripes, including a driving range, a nine-hole golf course, and a two-acre putting green. There’s plenty more to do like pickleball, tennis, sporting clay clinics, resort-style pools, and miles of hiking and biking trails.

The popular lake community also hosts smaller events including movie nights, yoga sessions, live outdoor concerts, poolside lunches by local chefs, and exclusive celebrity chef dinners. And we almost forgot Long Cove’s famous “Porching Hours.” They’re all great opportunities to have fun and be social.

Canopy Homes Now Available

Right now, a new limited collection of Canopy Homes are now being offered at Long Cove. Ranging from about 3,500 to 5,000 square feet, these Modern Farmhouse style homes are the ticket for family fun and entertaining friends. Tucked in the woods with back porch views of a five-acre pond, Long Cove’s Canopy Homes offer a new kind of experience with a closer connection to nature.

Long Cove’s Canopy Homes overlook a five-acre fishing pond and are a short walk to amenities.

Designed by John Boyd & Associates and built by renowned Dallas builder Robert Elliott Custom Homes, these Canopy Homes feature built-in bunkrooms, light-filled floor plans, modern appliances, spacious indoor and outdoor living areas, a two-car garage, and maintenance-free docks. And because these homes are already designed and approved, it seriously accelerates the process of getting into your lake home.

Two more things we love about Long Cove: Number one, they build and maintain all the community docks so there’s no maintenance fuss for you — that’s a big deal. Plus, they’re where you can take delivery of your boat from the Boat Valet, who’ll gas it up and have it ready to go.

And number two, there’s a friendly herd of Texas Longhorns as you drive the winding road into Long Cove. The team tells us they can be charmed with an alfalfa cake or two.

So, jump in the car, then on a boat, and let them take you for a private shoreline tour. Get in touch now with the Long Cove Realty Team by emailing [email protected] or call 214-220-4924.
