Delta Coves: Rare luxury waterfront village

-

The words “rare” and “unique” are used so frequently that we often lose track of their exceptiona­l meaning, and so we might miss out on recognizin­g when something is truly extraordin­ary and may never happen again in quite the same way. It’s a good thing that there are ways to measure rarities that merit our attention.

Delta Coves — a water-centric community located on a private, swimmable lagoon on Bethel Island in the California Delta — is the last new developmen­t of its kind in California, and very likely the United States. A local predecesso­r, Discovery Bay, was built in the 1960s and strict environmen­tal standards since that time have minimized similar communitie­s’ constructi­on. Delta Coves’ location on a man-made lagoon that was developed through an existing levee in an area that’s not susceptibl­e to flooding makes it a desirable rare gem of the Delta.

This haven for both water-sports enthusiast­s and those wanting to get away from it all is strategica­lly positioned near the Delta’s fast water, making the great California waterways right at your doorstep. Set on a 145-acre lagoon on a 740,000acre preserve among 1,000-plus miles of waterways, Delta Coves’ exclusive collection of 494 waterfront and water-view residences each have a private boat dock.

The water-based lifestyle at Delta Coves begins from the very moment you look out your back door to the ultimate swimming hole, the lagoon. Here, families can alternativ­ely treat it as a serious splash zone, spot for liquid lounging to cool off in summer, wild habitat to watch marine animals, protected harbor to learn early boating and floating skills, and a meditative retreat to wind down from the day. Wander straight out your back door and take your boat, kayak, stand-up paddleboar­d, or even

your inner tube out on an adventure.

Unlike any other residentia­l real estate developmen­t in the San Francisco Bay Area, the community is about 10 miles east of the Antioch BART Station and only a short drive from San Francisco, Napa, Sacramento, and Silicon Valley — providing an

idyllic waterfront lifestyle for people who want their down time away from work to be focused on leisure and the outdoors.

Delta Coves’ all-new homes are contempora­ry versions of old-school Delta homes that capture the outdoor nature of the local lifestyle, with open views to the waterways and large waterfront decks that serve as a gathering place for family and friends. All

surround the Island Camp, a communal hub and private club with a clubhouse, bar, pool area, event lawn, game pavilion, fitness facilities, and waterside movement studio. Dial up your social time with others, or merely retreat to your deck to watch the sun set over the California Delta.

Here, where the day begins with the crisp trill of the song sparrow and the sunlight sparkling

on the water, and ends with the sunset’s rosecolore­d light on the vast California waterways, Delta Coves is a retreat from the bustle of the Bay Area where you can unwind and celebrate the beauty of outdoor wilderness.
