Outstanding Amenities

Beyond its breathtaking scenery and quiet charm, The Coves at Smith Mountain Lake sets a new standard for elevated lakefront living.

Wander over five miles of scenic walking and nature trails, or spend the day at one of our community social docks, perfect for gathering with neighbors or enjoying sunset views over the water. The Coves Guest Center offers a warm and stylish space to welcome visitors, while cutting-edge infrastructure like high-speed mesh Wi-Fi and solar energy systems support a modern, connected lifestyle in harmony with nature.

At the heart of our community is a stunning amphitheater, an iconic venue that hosts nationally renowned musicians, community events, and seasonal gatherings, bringing culture, entertainment, and a sense of togetherness to your backyard.

Careful consideration has been taken at each phase of development to ensure that this unique landscape is well-preserved while offering residents a truly unique living experience. From the gently winding paved streets to the meticulous landscaping, every detail of The Coves pays homage to the land that surrounds it.

What you won’t see at The Coves is a templated development absent of personality and purpose. The homes and shared spaces within the community are designed as a partner to nature. From every vantage point of this property, you will be enveloped in the natural beauty of Smith Mountain Lake. In fact, over half of our 80-acre project is committed to open space and low home density.

Welcoming an ever-growing roster of award-winning performers, The Coves Amphitheater has quickly become a premier destination for both nationally touring artists and cherished local talent. But what truly sets this venue apart is its setting.

Nestled along the shores of Smith Mountain Lake and framed by the rolling beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, The Coves Amphitheater offers a visually stunning live music experience. The remote, lakeside location creates an intimate and immersive atmosphere, making it a must-visit destination for true music lovers.

Each performance also gives back: a portion of proceeds from every show supports our network of local and regional charity partners, helping strengthen the community that surrounds this extraordinary venue.
