Robert Elliott knows how to build homes that you’ll love living in. He should know, the prominent Dallas builder built his own family vacation home at Long Cove, too.
The Daltxrealestate.com Approved Builder has built distinguished homes throughout the Park Cities, Preston Hollow, and surrounding areas in Dallas, but his work at the Cedar Creek Lake community of Long Cove shows how to take lake life to a whole new level.
“Community is everything,” Elliott says. “There are other places you can buy a lake home, sure, but the community is what really makes Long Cove worth a lot more. That’s one of the big reasons we built our own family lake home here.”
Long Cove, located about an hour from Dallas on the clear, deep end of the Cedar Creek Reservoir, has become a close-knit 1,200-acre second-home haven and a go-to weekend spot for many in the Metroplex.
“No two weekends are alike because there are so many options here,” Elliott says. “Play pickleball, golf, tennis, or grab a snack at the pool and ride bikes on the trails. Since it’s so easy to get to, you can do whatever you need to at home and still make a day of it here. I can be at a 10 a.m. soccer game in Dallas and still be rocking and rolling on the lake by 1 p.m. The short drive allows us to be here more.”
That’s proving a popular sentiment right now as more and more Dallasites are looking for a weekend escape.
Robert Elliott Custom Homes teamed with registered architect Thomas Weber and Brent Slocum of B.K. Design Studio to build two custom spec homes at Waterside Drive on Henderson Bay, and judging by how hot second properties are moving right now, they should fly off the market.
The two modern farmhouse-style homes have four bedrooms, a bunk room, and five baths with approximately 5,500 to 5,600+ square feet and a two-car garage. These impressive lakefront custom homes start at $2.595 million.
“These lake homes are made for fun,” Elliott says. “We’re putting everything into them, just like we build our custom homes. The open floor plan, big lake views, and built-in bunk rooms make these modern farmhouses on the lake great for families, having friends over, and escaping city life.”
