Legacy of Love: The Spivey's Retreat at Lake Martin

For Steve and Beverly Spivey, building a weekend retreat at Lake Martin has always been about more than a beautiful view. The Troy, Alabama couple envisioned a place where their family could build on traditions, weekends could stretch into lifelong memories and where three generations could now gather at their newly built lake home at The Ridge.

For Steve, Lake Martin has always held a sentimental place in his heart. As a child, he spent countless weekends camping on its shoreline with his parents, who loved the outdoors and frequently visited the lake.
