A Dream Home Built on the Family Farm in Hiawassee, GA
This beautiful family home, designed with our architect, James Knight, is more than just a house; it's the continuation of a legacy.
The land is part of the farm property where Josh proposed to Jentry years ago. It has been in the family for six generations—six acres of history now holding their future.
When we first met Jentry and Josh Taylor, they weren’t just talking about building a home — they were continuing a legacy. Their home, set in the peaceful surroundings of Hiawassee, Georgia, is about more than blueprints and budgets. It’s a story about heritage, faith, family, and the community that surrounds them.

Designing a Family Legacy
A Home Rooted in Generations
Josh’s family land has been passed down through six generations — a gift from his great-grandfather, who entrusted it to Josh before his first deployment to Iraq with one condition: keep it in the family forever.
That promise became the heartbeat of this project. “This has been years in the making,” Jentry shared. “When his papa left him this land, he said he knew Josh would never sell it — that it would stay in the family for generations to come.” All around the Taylors’ property, the family still lives and works the same land. From cattle pastures to mountain views, every inch holds a story — including the nearby spot where Josh proposed to Jentry after returning home from his deployment. “He told me, ‘This is yours too, baby. We’re going to raise our kids here.’”
"Our experience with Reynard was exceptional; their professionalism and support made designing our forever home a completely stress-free and enjoyable process. From our first conversation, they were right there with us, taking the load off our shoulders and offering invaluable direction. We feel truly blessed to have this team on our journey and would highly recommend them to anyone!"

Life Is Full of Surprises
Life Happens — Even in the Middle of a Dream
No custom home design and build is without surprises, and the Taylors’ journey took a remarkable turn midway through design.
“After ten years, we found out we were expecting another baby,” Jentry laughed. “Jack was the first person I called — I told him, ‘We’ve got to add another bedroom!’”
That call led to one of the most memorable design reveals we’ve ever been part of. Sitting in a coffee shop in Ellijay, GA, Josh unrolled the updated architectural plans, confused by the “extra bedroom.” Then Jentry handed him the ultrasound photo. “It was priceless,” she said. “We had to make this home fit our growing family.”
