Discover the pinnacle of luxury lakefront living at Long Cove’s newest and most exclusive neighborhood, Henderson Bay. Back in March, we unveiled the exciting plans for this exceptional community, and now, we’re thrilled to present the complete details of the stunning, sleek new townhomes crafted by the renowned Robert Elliott Custom Homes. Starting from an accessible $695,000, these residences promise an unparalleled lifestyle on the pristine Cedar Creek Reservoir.
Long Cove: A Vision of Lakeside Luxury Transformed
From its very inception, we’ve closely followed Don McNamara’s ambitious Long Cove development, witnessing its transformation into a sprawling 1,000-acre haven for second-home ownership. This premier destination has quickly become the definitive weekend escape for discerning residents across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Strategically situated on the clear, deep waters of Cedar Creek Reservoir, Long Cove was born from an inspiration drawn from iconic coastal retreats like Florida’s Seaside and Watercolor communities. However, Long Cove distinctively infuses this inspiration with a unique Texan charm and an array of amenities that redefine lakefront luxury. It’s more than just a home; it’s a vibrant community where families gather, friendships flourish, and cherished memories are made against a breathtaking natural backdrop.


Henderson Bay: An Exclusive & Amenity-Rich Enclave
Henderson Bay itself is a remarkable 40-acre private and protected cove, meticulously designed to offer an extraordinary blend of recreation and relaxation. Residents will enjoy direct access to a host of exclusive amenities that elevate the lake experience. Imagine sun-drenched afternoons playing sandy beach volleyball, the thrill of sliding directly into the cool lake waters, or gathering around cozy lakeside fire pits as the sun dips below the horizon. Shared play fields and expansive rolling lawns provide ample space for outdoor activities and family fun. Adding to this impressive array, a magnificent amphitheater, large enough to host an orchestra, sets the stage for unforgettable outdoor concerts and community events, creating a truly unique cultural experience right on your doorstep. This dedication to crafting a diverse and engaging environment ensures that every moment spent in Henderson Bay is filled with delight and discovery.
Introducing the Contemporary Townhomes by Robert Elliott Custom Homes
The highly anticipated contemporary two-story Long Cove townhomes in Henderson Bay represent the pinnacle of modern lakeside architecture. These residences, limited to an exclusive collection of only eight homes, are designed for discerning buyers seeking sophisticated comfort and effortless living. Each townhome embodies sleek lines, premium materials, and thoughtful layouts that maximize space and natural light. Potential homeowners have the choice of two meticulously designed floor plans, each tailored to different lifestyles and needs, but both offering the signature quality and elegance of Robert Elliott Custom Homes.
Floor Plan 1: The Two-Bedroom Interior Lot Home
For those seeking a refined and intimate lakeside retreat, the two-bedroom, three-bath interior lot home offers a spacious 2,422 square feet of meticulously designed living space. This layout intelligently places the primary communal areas upstairs to capture optimal views and create an open, airy ambiance. The kitchen and a generously sized living area form the heart of the upper level, perfect for entertaining or simply relaxing while enjoying the serene surroundings. The secondary bedroom and an additional bath are also conveniently located on this floor.
The true sanctuary of this home, however, lies downstairs in the master bedroom. This luxurious space features an expansive wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, inviting an abundance of natural light and offering picturesque vistas. The en-suite master bath is a testament to spa-like luxury, boasting a freestanding vessel tub, a dual showerhead glass shower, and elegant modern polished chrome fixtures and faucets. A large walk-in closet completes this opulent master suite, providing ample storage and a sense of refined indulgence.


Floor Plan 2: The Three-Bedroom Corner Lot Home
Elevating the concept of lakeside luxury, the three-bedroom, five-bath corner lot home spans an impressive 3,198 square feet, offering expansive living spaces and enhanced privacy. This magnificent layout is ideal for larger families or those who frequently host guests. Downstairs, you’ll discover two generously proportioned bedrooms, including the sensational master suite, which again features that fabulous wall of floor-to-ceiling windows that seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living. Additionally, a dedicated family room on this level comes complete with its own full en-suite bath, providing a flexible space for relaxation or entertainment.
Ascending to the upstairs, residents are greeted by a breathtaking open-concept floor plan encompassing the kitchen, dining area, and living room. This vast, interconnected space is designed for grand entertaining and everyday comfort. A private deck extends the living area outdoors, providing an exceptional elevated view of the shimmering shoreline – a perfect spot for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Smartly tucked away at the other end of the second floor, the third bedroom offers privacy and tranquility, making it an ideal guest suite or a quiet home office.

Gourmet Kitchens: A Culinary Masterpiece
Every Long Cove townhome kitchen is a testament to culinary excellence, designed to be the heart of the home where both everyday meals and grand entertaining flourish. These fully-equipped gourmet spaces feature everything you would expect in a high-end residence and more. Highlights include elegant Caesarstone quartz countertops, custom cabinetry with soft-close hardware for a touch of refined functionality, and designer Bedrosian backsplash tile that adds a subtle yet sophisticated artistic flair. The kitchens are outfitted with a suite of top-tier stainless steel appliances from industry-leading brands such as Sub-Zero, Wolf, Dacor, Bosch, and Asko, ensuring both exceptional performance and enduring style.
To truly paint a vivid picture of this culinary paradise: imagine gracefully reaching for fresh ingredients from your integrated Sub-Zero 36-inch built-in side-by-side refrigerator. Next, effortlessly prepare a gourmet meal on the professional-grade Wolf 36-inch six-burner gas cooktop. As dinner simmers, select a fine bottle of wine from the convenient 24-inch undercounter beverage cooler with dedicated wine storage, perhaps while gently warming dinner rolls in the convection oven. After a delightful wine and dine experience, simply allow the Asko dishwasher to handle the cleanup with whisper-quiet efficiency, freeing you to retire onto the serene patio and savor the tranquil lakeside ambiance. Here, cooking becomes an art form, and entertaining is an absolute pleasure.


And for those evenings when you simply wish to unwind and embrace the “lake time” spirit, culinary perfection awaits just steps away at the poolside Regatta Grill. Here, you can indulge in exquisite cuisine, delightful cocktails, and breathtaking sunset views without ever having to lift a finger in the kitchen. Long Cove truly offers the ultimate balance of gourmet home cooking and effortless dining experiences.
Excellence in Design and Construction
The construction of these magnificent Long Cove townhomes is entrusted to Robert Elliott Custom Homes, a highly respected and preferred builder known for their unwavering commitment to quality and architectural integrity. Every aspect of the design, from the grand architectural lines to the finest interior details, has been meticulously crafted by John Boyd and Associates. Their exceptional portfolio speaks volumes, showcasing a legacy of luxury residences spanning prestigious locations in Dallas, Aspen, Ireland, and Mexico, alongside magnificent family estates and ranches throughout the great state of Texas. This collaboration ensures that each townhome is not just a structure, but a work of art, perfectly attuned to the Long Cove aesthetic.
Homeowners are presented with a choice of two sophisticated color schemes: an “airy” palette or a “warm” palette. Both options are characterized by their subtle elegance and timeless appeal. The “warm” scheme introduces delicate hints of brown, creating a rich sandstone hue that exudes comfort and natural beauty. Alternatively, the “airy” palette embraces a more contemporary and trending gray tone, offering a fresh and expansive feel. These carefully curated options allow residents to personalize their living space while maintaining the cohesive, upscale design ethos of Henderson Bay.

It’s truly a carefree existence, allowing you to maximize your enjoyment of this extraordinary community.
