Belle Air Plantation

Belle Air Plantation is an estate located on the north bank of the James River in Charles City County, Virginia, United States.

Summer beams, which run through the center of the ceilings into the chimneys, serve as the principal supporting members for the floor joists above.

In 1657, following the period of his indenture, Richard I was assigned the first half of a 1,197 acre Charles City County plantation by Howell Pryse.

The property was purchased by Hamlin Willcox, a prosperous Charles City County planter, in 1800 and he added the three-bay western portion of the house.

The house remained in the Willcox family, which also owned nearby North Bend Plantation at the time of the Civil War, until 1945.
