Located in Black Mountain, North Carolina, in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Village of Cheshire combines all the good things in life: fine architectural craftsmanship, the beauty of nature, a thriving community, and a healthy, active lifestyle.
Neighbors find it easy to become a part of Cheshire’s vibrant community. Homes are all within walking distance of the Village Center, where shops, offices, a post office, restaurants and cafes offer a wide range of amenities and activities. Apartment living spaces above the street-level retail suites give the Village Center a European feel with a modern flair.
A traditional neighborhood development, Cheshire’s design centers on the growth of community and attention to the surrounding environment. Cheshire was designed by the award-winning town-planning firm of Duany, Plater-Zyberk & Company, after a week-long charrette, during which creative ideas and input were gathered from Cheshire’s founder, city planners, architects, and the public.
