The Reynolds’ Lake Martin life began on the water, long before there was a physical address. On weekends aboard their Sea Ray 320 at The Ridge, they spent long days cruising the shoreline and countless nights sleeping at the dock with their son, Jackson.
The Auburn/Opelika couple loved that freedom, but the urge to build a place of their own only grew. They decided to make the lake their full-time home with their Goldendoodle, Sadie, and to build their first dream house together at Lake Martin.
