Your Dream Lake Home Awaits at Discovery Bay

With so many home features and finishes, building a custom home allows you to get exactly what you want. We can recommend several contractors who are ready to help build your dream retreat. You can also bring your own builder or contractor—no restrictions.

With a golf course about a 10-minute boat ride across the lake in addition to nearby country clubs, there are plenty of golf opportunities within boating or driving distance.

Our 2,300-foot runway is federally registered, making for easy navigation. Our private airstrip is located in the middle of the development and is ideal for small, private aircraft.

Build times are at the buyer’s discretion. One benefit of securing a spot now and building later is that the area has virtually no holding costs. Property taxes are minimal.

The best time to buy is when you’re ready. The busiest time in the area is the onset of spring, which begins late February or early March. Summertime, which spans May through early October, is also a good time to occupy the area. April and May bring fishing tournaments as well. So if you wish to watch or participate and have a place to stay for years to come, plan ahead.

Absolutely! Discovery Bay has that wholesome, down to earth, laid back vibe. It’s a great vacation area for families. Surrounding areas have very low crime rates, and community residents are pleasant to be around. Kids love fishing on the lake and being out on the water wakeboarding and tubing. Table Rock Lake is a warm water lake—so the water is perfect for all ages. For your added comfort, entry into Discovery Bay from the road is through code access security gates.

Land in your backyard, taxi your plane, and park in your own hangar. You can build a hangar in the lots adjacent to the runway or build a hangar home. Aircraft must be stowed in hangar when not in use.

Discovery Bay offers year round recreation opportunities. The optimal time to stay is May through August when temperatures reach 80 or 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Fall is beautiful—when the lake is serene and the trees turn color. The winter months are also mild. The ground doesn’t freeze around here. Temperatures may drop to 40 degrees and it occasionally snows, but there is no need for a shovel ever! Many longtime area residents also golf nearby year round, too.

The property is carved around oak trees and cedar forest for beautiful panoramic views. While we had to clear timber to make way for the air landing strip, our developers tried to leave as much natural growth as possible. You’ll also have direct access to the lake and boat slips. Table Rock Lake has retained its natural boundaries and ecosystem, so Discovery Bay feels like a quiet retreat.
