THE WILLARD COMPANIES

The Willard Companies was founded in 1973 by Franklin County native Ronald L. Willard Sr., who was among the first to realize the potential of the lake and actively pursue making Smith Mountain Lake a great place to live, work and play... Since 1973, The Willard Companies has been the driving force guiding Smith Mountain Lake's transformation from a sleepy rural valley into a resort area that attracts people from across the country to enjoy golf, recreation, and lake life. In November 2023, The Willard Companies broke ground on its newest waterfront development, Bridgewater Grande. These quality home sites are available for purchase now. Community amenities include pickleball courts, swimming pool and pavilion, gated entrance, street lights and boat storage area.
