Bay Area buyers dreaming of life on the water can explore two distinctive new home collections by Blue Mountain Communities at Delta Coves, a gated, resort-style master-planned community on Bethel Island, just north of Oakley.

From charming, waterfront-inspired homes at The Cottages to spacious residences at Delta Coves, the two collections offer a range of designs, sizes, and price points for buyers searching for a weekend getaway, second home, or year-round residence within convenient reach of the Bay Area.

The newest addition to the community, The Cottages at Delta Coves, introduces thoughtfully designed two-story homes created for a relaxed, lock-and-leave lifestyle. Pricing from the $500,000s offers a more attainable opportunity to own a newly built home with access to the California Delta.

Floorplans range from approximately 1,598 to 1,877 square feet and feature open-concept living spaces, modern architecture, balconies, and flexible layouts suited for weekend gatherings or everyday living. With village and waterfront locations available, all homes include a private boat slip, making it easy to access more than 1,000 miles of Delta waterways.

For those seeking more space and a home directly on the water, the Delta Coves collection by Blue Mountain Communities presents an exceptional selection of residences with private boat docks, generous indoor-outdoor living areas, and panoramic waterfront views. Priced from the high $900,000s, a variety of single- and two-story floorplans offer flexible options, including expanded living spaces and extended decks designed to accommodate the boating lifestyle.

“Delta Coves has always offered a lifestyle unlike anything else in Northern California,” said Stephanie MacLean, CEO and President of Blue Mountain Communities. “With two distinct home collections, buyers can now choose the home that best fits the way they want to experience it, whether that means an easy weekend escape or an everyday life centered around the water.”

At the heart of the community is Island Camp, a 15,000-square-foot private waterfront club exclusively for residents. Designed as the social center of Delta Coves, Island Camp offers a vibrant setting where neighbors can gather, relax, and enjoy the community’s year-round resort atmosphere.

Amenities include a resort-style swimming pool and pavilion, fitness center, yoga studio, pickleball courts, gathering lounges, lawn games, and the popular Duffy Boat Bar. An active social calendar brings residents together for live music, holiday celebrations, boating events, and community gatherings throughout the year.

Beyond Island Camp, residents enjoy walking trails, parks, open spaces, a dog park, and direct access to the California Delta and San Francisco Bay for boating, fishing, water sports, and exploration. Located on Bethel Island, Delta Coves feels worlds away from everyday life while remaining approximately one hour from much of the Bay Area, Silicon Valley, Napa Valley, and Sacramento. Model homes are now open for tours.

Blue Mountain Communities also offers new homes throughout Northern California. Parlin Oaks in Galt features a collection of thoughtfully designed attainably priced homes with easy access to the Highway 99 corridor. The award-winning community, Oakhaven in the El Dorado foothills, presents an exclusive gated enclave of luxury single-story residences on expansive one- to two-acre homesites.
