Community Guide

Cheval

Cheval is a custom-home community in Mint Hill organized into several villages under one identity. This independent guide explains how to research it — we are not the developer or sales office.

One Community, Several Villages

Cheval is marketed and governed as a single community made up of distinct villages. Treat the villages as sections of Cheval, not as separate estate communities. Village names, recorded subdivision labels, and phase boundaries should be confirmed from recorded plats and the community's official materials.

Homes and Lots

Cheval is known for custom single-family homes. Lot sizes and home styles vary by village and phase. Some sections are gated; do not assume every section shares the same access arrangement.

Equestrian Questions

Cheval's name and history reflect an equestrian connection. Whether a particular lot permits keeping horses, and whether riding, boarding, or trail access is part of ownership, are separate questions.

  • Do not assume horses are permitted on any given lot.
  • Do not assume equestrian facilities are included in association dues.
  • Confirm whether access rights transfer with ownership or require a separate agreement.

Architectural Review and Builders

Expect architectural review for new construction and exterior changes. Ask whether the community or a specific village limits which builders may build, and request the current guidelines before designing a home.

Separating What You See

  • Completed residences — existing homes, confirmed by records.
  • Active authorized listings — available through a licensed agent or MLS.
  • Available homesites — confirm availability and ownership currently.
  • Proposed builds and renderings — illustrative, not existing homes.
