INSPIRED, TIMELESS DESIGNS DRIVEN BY NATUREThe Coves is an organic community that has found a natural bond between the passions of homeowners and the desire to preserve the natural beauty of Smith Mountain Lake. Our guiding compass is to ensure that homeowners can experience the beauty of Smith Mountain Lake from a trail, their home, or a community gathering, all while in a carefully designed setting.

The Coves is a blending of a lake and mountain setting with a rich historical heritage and the best of community amenities. It is a private retreat with large open spaces where families and friends can gather.

“Green” is not just a concept at The Coves. It is a reality. We have invested in the latest solar technology to provide sustainable energy from private arrays and deployment of high speed mesh WiFi throughout The Coves, which prepares our residents and their homes for a connected future.

“Smart Homes” is not just a buzzword at The Coves. From our inception, we understood that technology and how we employed materials and sustainable practices in building the community would play an important role. We are looking forward. From how we handle wastewater and recycle cut hardwood trees, to a commitment to the local bee population, we always take our inspiration from nature.

Practical Sustainability, Smart LivingNoted Charlottesville landscape architects

NELSON, BYRD, WOLTZ master planned The Coves specifically to make the experience of our 80 waterfront acres a celebration of its agricultural past, the surrounding Blue Ridge Parkway, and the joy of being in the woods on a clear mountain lake.  Plus, every homesite offers its own unique, compelling view of the woods, water, and outdoor amenities - with multiple pathways tying it all together.

Renowned home designers have created 4 fantastic models so far, with more architect contributions being added to our offerings.

The relationship between a home and the environment it's built in is one to be considered throughout all phases of home building. At The Coves, we’ve already started the process for you. Mountain Retreat Living was formed from a shared vision between Developer and Builder and to meet the needs of homeowners at The Coves.  This partnership provides a variety of custom build options that are individually designed and crafted for you.

Inspired Design

Rest. Relax. Rejuvenate. A guiding principal that has driven the development of The Coves has been to provide spaces where you can experience a private environment that nourishes your soul and body.

The Coves was intentionally designed and developed to provide you with open spaces and amenities that can foster healthy living.

With 5 miles of trail systems that wind through the woods and along the waterside, you can experience and explore the The Coves and Smith Mountain Lake on foot or bike. Covered rest stops with awesome views, community dock access for circuit lap swimming, kayaks and paddle boards all constantly call you outdoors.

True Sense of CommunityPrivate

The Coves has nurtured a true sense of community by creating public spaces to be shared and enjoyed by family and friends, amenities such as a community dock and two floating shoreline platforms that serve as our Club Kayak & Swim center.

Throughout the community, there are gazebos, a fire pit and multiple open areas with big open views of the lake. These bring homeowners and guests together to experience the best of the community and Smith Mountain Lake.

The community surrounding The Coves is a vibrant and engaged population of service providers, crafts people, artists, and wellness professionals. Whether you are looking for a skilled builder or a relaxing spa experience, just look to the neighbors of The Coves.

The Coves is a 24/7 gated community with a focus on privacy and protecting the natural beauty of our land. To that end, we have electronic gate controls supplemented by fencing and streaming HD video cameras on the perimeter of the property. These cameras not only enhance privacy, they capture some amazing images of the wildlife that call The Coves home.

Shared camera access also allows you to enjoy streaming mountain, water and wildlife imagery from anywhere, anytime.
