Belle Air Plantation

Belle Air is a historic house and plantation located on the north bank of the James River near Charles City in the Tidewater region of Virginia. The plantation was the residence of several slaveholding Virginian families beginning around the late seventeenth century, although the existing house was probably not built until the first part of the eighteenth century. The site was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 for its architectural significance as an unusually well-preserved example of the vernacular style during the reign of William III and Mary II.
