Bay Area buyers dreaming of a waterfront escape now have a new opportunity to experience life on the Delta as Blue Mountain Communities celebrates the Grand Opening of three new model homes at The Cottages at Delta Coves.

Pricing from the $500,000’s creates an attainable opportunity for buyers searching for a second home, vacation retreat, or waterfront-inspired primary residence within convenient reach of the Bay Area.

Located within the gated, resort-style master-planned community, The Cottages introduce a new collection of thoughtfully designed two-story homes created for a relaxed, lock-and-leave lifestyle. The neighborhood includes a limited number of homesites with two-story floorplans ranging from approximately 1,598 to 1,877 square feet. Each home includes a private boat slip with direct access to the California Delta waterways and San Francisco Bay, making it easy for homeowners to spend weekends boating, entertaining, and enjoying life on the water.

Designed to embrace the surrounding waterfront setting, the homes feature open-concept living spaces, modern architecture, and flexible layouts ideal for weekend guests, family gatherings, or everyday living. Large windows and inviting indoor-outdoor spaces help capture the easygoing spirit of Delta living while maintaining the comfort and style today’s buyers are seeking.

“The Cottages represent an exciting new chapter for Delta Coves,” said Stephanie MacLean, Blue Mountain CEO/President. “Buyers continue to be drawn to the lifestyle. Enjoying boating, gathering with neighbors, and endless activities in a place that feels worlds away from everyday life while still being close to the Bay Area. The Cottages create a rare opportunity to experience this waterfront community and everything it offers.”

At the center of the community is The Island Camp, a 15,000-square-foot private waterfront club designed exclusively for residents. The amenity center serves as the social heart of Delta Coves and offers a vibrant atmosphere where neighbors gather to relax, connect, and celebrate the waterfront lifestyle.

Amenities include a resort-style pool and swimming pavilion, fitness center, yoga studio, pickleball courts, gathering lounges, lawn games, and the popular Duffy Boat Bar. Residents also enjoy an active social calendar featuring live music, holiday celebrations, boating events, and community gatherings throughout the year, creating a true sense of community uncommon in many second-home destinations.

Beyond the amenities, Delta Coves offers walking trails, open spaces, parks, and a dog park, creating an atmosphere that feels more like a year-round resort destination than a traditional neighborhood.

Conveniently located on Bethel Island, Delta Coves offers a rare combination of waterfront recreation and accessibility, approximately one hour from much of the Bay Area, Silicon Valley, Napa Valley, and Sacramento. The newly opened model homes now provide prospective buyers the opportunity to experience the Delta lifestyle firsthand.
