Living in Cheval

Cheval is a 425-acre equestrian community in Mint Hill, with custom estate homes on large wooded homesites from a group of custom builders. Homesites have room for a private barn.

The community is built around the Joli Cheval Equestrian Center, which offers boarding and multiple arenas, along with riding trails, community parks, nature trails and an entertainment pavilion. For a buyer who rides, or who wants land and privacy about 13 to 14 miles from uptown Charlotte, there is little else like it among the neighborhoods we cover.

Buying or Selling in Cheval

For buyers, the questions are about the homesite as much as the house: its size and layout, where a barn could go, and what the community's rules allow you to build. Those belong in the due diligence period, along with anything that needs a survey. Higher-end homes in Mint Hill covers how we approach property like this, and how we help you buy covers the due diligence rules.

For sellers, an estate homesite with equestrian access has few true comparables, and the likely buyer may not be searching Mint Hill at all. The Seller Market Position Review works from the closest matches in land, setting and finish, and the launch is aimed at the buyers most likely to want the property. Selling your home in Mint Hill covers the rest.
