East of Asheville, NC, the Rocky Broad River cuts its way as a series of rapids down through Hickory Nut Gap in the heart of Hickory Nut Gorge at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This crystal clear water forms three long bays, an island of seven acres and many small bays and inlets in the shape of a Maltese cross that encompass Lake Lure. The lake impounded in 1927 is called by National Geographic as one of the most beautiful man-made lakes in the world. Blue Heron Point is a new gated community on Lake Lure offering 43 home sites on 55 acres, with mountain, waterfront, and water view properties for sale by Harrison Development.

Blue Heron Point is within minutes of the historic Lake Lure Inn and Spa. Built in 1927 this Inn has catered to film makers who are drawn to the area for its beautiful scenery. The magnificence of Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, and the 404-foot Hickory Nut Falls, the second tallest waterfall east of the Mississippi River, was captured in the 1992 movie, Last of the Mohicans, with Daniel Day-Lewis and Madeleine Stowe. In 1987, Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey danced in this ultimate setting, beneath a mountain moon near the blue waters of Lake Lure in Dirty Dancing.

Blue Heron Point receives wonderful weather due to its unique location at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This region is called the isothermal belt because of its junction at the rolling hills that protects and traps the warmer air. The result is earlier spring flowers, gorgeous fall foliage lasting into late November, and milder winters than other mountain areas. The area offers snowskiing in the winter for all ages as near as 45 minutes.
