Belle Isle is a historic plantation house 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.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
