Introducing the Cape Cottages: Streamlined Luxury Living on Henderson Bay
The recent release of five new Cape Cottages at Long Cove marks an exciting evolution in luxury lakefront living, offering a unique “fast-track timeline” for homeowners eager to enjoy their dream retreat sooner. This innovative design and construction concept benefits from the collaborative genius of John Boyd & Associates, renowned for their exceptional architectural plans, and Robert Elliott Custom Homes, celebrated for their masterful building execution. Together, they deliver homes that are not only aesthetically stunning but also built with efficiency and precision.
The Fast-Track Advantage: Building Your Dream Home with Ease
“Opting for pre-designed floorplans coupled with meticulously curated, high-end finish selections significantly streamlines the home-building journey,” explains Josh Ellis, President of Long Cove Realty. “This approach saves our homeowners considerable time, financial resources, and, perhaps most importantly, eliminates much of the stress typically associated with custom construction. At Long Cove, one of our fundamental objectives is to simplify life for every resident, in every possible way. This streamlined building process exemplifies that commitment.”
By leveraging expert-designed plans and pre-selected luxury finishes, the process of acquiring your new lake home is dramatically accelerated. “We can shave months off the traditional construction timeline,” Ellis adds, “ensuring a quicker, easier, and ultimately more enjoyable building experience. This means you can begin creating cherished memories in your new Long Cove home much sooner, without compromising on quality or personalized luxury.” This efficiency is a testament to Long Cove’s dedication to an elevated homeowner experience, allowing residents to transition seamlessly into their lakeside lifestyle.
Elegant Designs and Premier Location
The Cape Cottages represent a magnificent collection of generously sized two-story homes, strategically positioned on the picturesque south side of Henderson Bay. Homebuyers have the privilege of choosing from three distinct and captivating designs: Chatham, Newport, and Seabury. Each design offers a unique interpretation of coastal elegance, meticulously crafted to maximize comfort and views.

With an impressive 2,824 square feet of interior living space, it provides ample room for relaxation and entertainment. An additional 722 square feet of covered porch space seamlessly extends the living and dining areas outdoors, creating a harmonious flow between indoor comfort and natural beauty. These spacious lakeside porches, common to the Chatham, Newport, and Seabury designs, are thoughtfully appointed with a gas fireplace—ideal for cooler evenings—and an optional outdoor grill, inviting residents to savor alfresco dining against a backdrop of panoramic Henderson Bay views and the sparkling Bayside infinity pool.
Inside, the contemporary kitchens are a chef’s delight, meticulously designed with custom cabinetry featuring soft-close hardware, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, and elegant quartz countertops.
