Belle Isle is a historic plantation home located near Lancaster, Lancaster County, Virginia. It was built about 1759, and consists of a two-story, three bay, brick central section with one-story flanking wings. The Colonial style dwelling has a hipped roof pierced by two tall interior end chimneys, and surrounded at its base by the original modillion cornice. Also on the property are two original one-story brick dependencies set perpendicular to the facade of the house. The original interior woodwork was removed in 1922, and installed in the Winterthur Museum in 1941.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
