Villa Bella Vista, also known as the Eila Pierre House and The Ledges, is a historic house at 7 Old Depot Road in Chester, Connecticut. It is a large two-story stone structure, set on a hill overlooking the Connecticut River. It has a three-story tower at the northwest corner, which (like the main roof) has a shallow pitch with deep overhangs. It was built in 1908, and was designed by the owner, Eila Pierre, who was inspired by the Italianate architecture of farmhouses in northern Italy. Although she was not a professional architect, she drew up the plans herself, adapting the form and materials to the settings of the hilltop site. The construction work was conducted by masons who also did work on the nearby Gillette Castle.
