Long Cove has unveiled 10 new waterside cottages with scenic lake views in Cedar Creek Lake's newest private residential community. The second phase of the development brings the total number of residences in the family-friendly community to 20. Eight of the residences in the first phase sold, and three of the second phase have already sold. Long Cove was created by Dallas' Don McNamara, the successful developer and investor behind Cityplace and West Village in Uptown. Don is also a long-time resident of Cedar Creek Lake and has invested 10 years in planning to perfect Long Cove. Additionally, there are two model homes displaying the features and benefits of the community's move-in ready waterside cottages. The 22 luxury homes in the first planned neighborhood surround open playing fields, an amphitheater, sand volleyball courts and the Lake Club. The club offers residents a large multi-level swimming pool, waterslide, outdoor grilling facility, game room, fitness room and indoor and outdoor lounging areas. The waterside cottages also enjoy access to community docks with concierge boat maintenance service and storage. The floating docks are operational even during low-lake levels so there are no barriers to boating all summer long. "We are thrilled with the response our waterside cottages have received so far, and we believe the high-demand is a direct result of our careful planning and overall vision for a family-focused community that truly feels like a resort," said Long Cove President Christopher Kelsey. "All our waterside cottages are strategically located so they have unobstructed views of the lake's deep waters, and they are steps away from all of Long Cove's amenities." Long Cove Sales Director Josh Ellis noted the waterside cottages are move-in ready, and they provide a "lock-and-leave" lifestyle for residents. "Residents simply choose their floor plan and finishes, and Long Cove takes care of the rest," Ellis said. "Waterside cottages are a great option for families looking for a personalized home without the obligation and time-consuming process of building from scratch and ongoing maintenance." There are seven floor plans, ranging from three bedrooms and 2,000 square feet to six bedrooms and 3,600 square feet. All have expansive covered porches, designer kitchens and custom finishes. They are constructed of low-maintenance materials, prolonging the life of the home in impeccable style. The architectural design is low-country beach community adapted to the Texas lake-front lifestyle. The second-phase is being built along the recently completed six-acre expansion of Cedar Creek Lake.

Long Cove is a new, private residential community located just over an hour from Dallas on Cedar Creek Lake built to give North Texas families a close-to-home getaway that promotes an unplugged, relaxing and family-oriented experience. Situated on more than six miles of pristine shoreline in Cedar Creek's deep waters and spanning more than 1,200 acres, the Long Cove property has been untouched for nearly 80 years. Long Cove offers special homesites for waterside cottages, lakefront homes and family compounds, which can all be built-to-suit, accommodating the unique needs of each resident. Amenities at Long Cove include boat valet and concierge, lakefront swim club, fishing and canoeing pond, hiking and biking trails, outdoor gathering spaces and fire pits, tennis courts, fitness center, amphitheater and more.
