Love Cove’s floating docks and boat valet service allows lake access all summer. Long Cove was created by Dallas real estate developer, Don McNamara, who has invested in notable projects, such as Cityplace and West Village in Uptown. As a long-time resident of Cedar Creek Lake himself, McNamara spent 10 years planning the perfect, familyfriendly lake community. The Long Cove project architect, John Boyd, a DFW resident, implemented a new style of architecture on this special development. He calls it “Texas Lakefront Architecture,” and believes it is a style completely new to the region. He is an expert on architectural and interior design, and his work focuses on creating spaces that facilitate and encourage family “together time.” Cedar Creek Lake ownership opportunities continue to grow as sophisticated developers target the lake for planned upscale second home environments. Others include Beacon Hill, The 505 Ranch and now, further south by about 25 minutes, closer to Malakoff and Log Cabin, there is Long Cove. ModernLifestyles.tv 25
