Enjoying the Extraordinary Amenities at The Cove at Magnolia Lakes
You always hear the saying, “having the best of both worlds,” but here at The Cove in Chester Virginia, this saying rings true. A SMALLER, intimate community with BIG, and I mean extra big, amenities to enjoy in your free time. What else could you ask for?
Well, you can have it ALL right here. Extraordinary amenities and extraordinary neighbors to enjoy excitement and fun in the best time of your life. On a recent chilly but sunny January day, about 20 or so neighbors (including some that have not moved in yet!) at The Cove met in the afternoon for some hot chocolate, coffee or tea and sweets to ring in the new year. All done by socially distancing of course, which was easy in their new covered pavilion at The Pointe overlooking the lake and nature. It’s a guarantee that this spot will be buzzing in the summer with grilling, horseshoes, and saying hello to those walking on the trails meandering along the large scenic lake which is the focal point of the community.

This was the first neighbor event for the Worontsoff’s. They moved to The Cove just about the time when the monthly fun happy hours were put on pause due to Covid. Despite the “pause” they still have met many neighbors, but were definitely excited to attend a gathering in person. “The people that have purchased homes here are wonderful people. As far as meeting our needs, coming from a house on a 3 acre lot, the ability to meet neighbors has been a tremendous advantage to us at our age,” said the Worontsoffs. 
The Cove, which is part of the Villas at Magnolia Lakes in Chester, is a nature haven tucked away close by the quaint town of Chester. And Cornerstone Homes has made sure to create an environment so that every homeowner can enjoy the abundance of beauty that surrounds this community. From the incredible boardwalk and lake pavilion to the miles of trails around the lake and connecting both communities, as well as community vegetable gardens to keep you healthy, and numerous other outdoor gathering spots. And let's not forget the clubhouse and the Lodge, two great places to meet up with your friends. Living an active life here at The Cove is easy as pie.

Ask any homeowner. Living at The Cove IS the best thing since apple pie! That’s why this popular, sought-after community is nearly 90% sold out. So run, don’t walk to tour this community and find out how you can make the best decision of your life to become a happy homeowner at The Cove in Chester! Contact Cornerstone at 804-215-0766 today!
