Bon Aire is a historic home located near Shipman, Nelson County, Virginia. It is a Federal-style brick dwelling dramatically sited on a hill overlooking the James River. It was built about 1812 in a three-part scheme; with a two-story center section flanked by 1 1⁄2-story, two-bay wings. In plan and detail Bon Aire is linked to a number of tripartite houses, such as nearby Point of Honor in Lynchburg, Virginia, built for a cousin of Bon Aire's builder, Dr. George Cabell.
