A lake house built for being together

DiamondCove sits right on East Emerald Lake in the Emerald Lakes community, a quiet wooded neighborhood in Long Pond. Step out the back door to the water, soak in the hot tub, then head downstairs for arcade games and pool.

It’s stocked like a real home: a full chef’s kitchen, a coffee bar with fresh beans and a grinder, a wood-burning fireplace and a 65” TV in the living room, and a deck with lake views and a propane BBQ.
