Because of the sale of property located on Cortez Peninsula (also known as Cortez Beach) residents will no longer be able to access this area. In the past, Hot Springs Village has been able to keep this area under the insurance policy that covers the Village, but this is no longer the case. Residents should refrain from using this area for water recreation and use the beaches at Lake DeSota and Balboa along with the new outdoor pool for these activities.
The new owners of the property, Nels and Jocelyn Scott, are looking forward to becoming residents of Hot Springs Village in the future and have written a letter to the residents talking about the future of the Lake Cortez property. You can read that letter here: https://explorethevillage.com/members/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/20-06-19-Scott-Letter.pdf
Hot Springs Village is a great place to live and we recognize that sometimes things change so we must adapt. Please make sure that you follow the rules and choose to utilize the Village's other water areas.
