Bluff Lake waterfront new construction — coastal-cottage homes with docks on the Chain itself
View Available Homes Call (847) 738-1884Newport Cove is the Chain O'Lakes address people picture when they daydream: a coastal-cottage community by New American Homes on Bluff Lake, north of Grass Lake Road, with docks, a clubhouse and named plans like Moon River and Boardwalk. The development launched in 2007 and its newest homes went up 2021–2024, so this is genuinely modern waterfront — a rarity anywhere on the Chain.
Josh's honest take from the water: Bluff Lake sits right off the channel everyone cruises in summer, so you're one turn from the action but tucked in a cove. Current listings run near and above $1M, with buildable lots still available in the $50K range — the last-chance way onto Chain waterfront with new construction.
Three homes listed at an average near $1.1M plus a handful of lots around $55K. Resales in past years have traded in the $500s — pricing here is position-driven: water frontage, dock rights, and build year decide everything.
