Upstairs, the loft bedroom features its own balcony, generous storage, and flexible guest accommodations. The lower level is designed for entertaining with a comfortable TV/lounge space, large buffet-style serving area, and three refrigerators — ideal for hosting lake weekends, gatherings, and summer celebrations. Outdoor living is where this property truly stands apart. A spacious upper deck, shaded lower patio, expansive side yard, and wired tiki torch lighting create multiple areas to gather, dine, relax, and enjoy evening sunsets across the lake.

With its rare lot-and-a-half footprint, protected cove positioning, dual beach access, panoramic lake views, and true turnkey lake lifestyle, this property represents a unique opportunity rarely available on Ginger Cove Lake. Just 15 minutes from Elkhorn and 20 minutes from Omaha. This is more than a home — it’s a lifestyle.
Ginger Cove, located between Highway 36 and the Platte River, is a residential and semi-rural Valley neighborhood with wide-lot streetscapes and a lakes-and-trails backdrop. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Highway 36 corridor near the Valley city center, where local diners, small storefronts, and service shops set a practical, day-to-day rhythm. Housing leans toward newer single-family builds and acreage-style properties, with long driveways and open skies shaping the streets. Outdoor time often points toward nearby river access and the recreation loop around Valley Lakes. The pace reads quiet and spacious, with commuting patterns oriented toward Omaha via the highway. Seasonal sunsets and big-weather views give the area a distinctly Nebraska sense of scale.
