Introducing The Overlook: the next chapter in the Sisters Cove story
CHANGE YOUR DAYDREAMS THIS SUMMER
S
isters Cove is a small lakeside village that has, at its heart, a simplicity and beauty. Our village encircles a quiet cove,
a finger of Lake Norman, on three sides. It’s our town common and residents share it as if it were a Savannah garden square or an English park. The Overlook is a precious neighborhood with some rather nice shared features, like a soccer-field-sized dog common, community docks and fire pit. Your backyard overlooks a waterfront boardwalk that creates lovely places to casually meet your neighbors–four and two-legged. Perfect for waterfront yoga, a painter’s easel, or a little celebratory slow dancing. Every home in this boutique community has a water view. Come see what makes The Overlook particularly dreamy.

We are pledged to the letter and spirit of U.S. policy for the achievement of Equal Housing Opportunity throughout the Nation. We encourage and support an affirmative advertising and marketing program in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
