John Cloud, President of The New Chimney Rock Land Company, is the adventurous type. He's a successful business man, dedicated father and sportsman. Born in Missouri, raised in Florida and educated at Vanderbilt, he now lives in Sarasota, Florida where he oversees his many business interests in Florida and North Carolina. John says the development business is a good juxtaposition and balance to his other businesses and provides an outlet for his creative energies. "Retreating to my home on Lake Lure is always a great pleasure for me", says John. "It's serene and beautiful and it always puts me in a great state of mind.  It is a wonderful escape from business pressures and the rest of the world, and it enables me to share the beauty and uniqueness I've found at Lake Lure with my family, friends and neighbors". John's stability and experience in running successful companies is reflected in his management style, it's participatory, open and relaxed. He places great confidence and trust in his management team and says they never fail to live up to his hopes and expectations. The result is a healthy and happy group of people dedicated to producing the finest product that they hope others will enjoy as much as John and his family do. With the same spirit and vision as the original developers of the 1920's, the New Chimney Rock Land Company proudly presents Shumont Estates and Waterside Estates. Homesites featuring breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and the shimmering waters of beautiful Lake Lure.
