Belleview, human settlement in Virginia, United States of America
Belleview is a historic plantation house near Ridgeway in Virginia, built in 1783. The two-story structure features five bays across its front, a gable roof, and a two-level portico with Greek Ionic columns that frame the main entrance.
The house was built in 1783 and served as the center of a working plantation in Virginia. In 1974, Belleview was added to the National Register of Historic Places, recognizing its importance to the region's history.
The house sits south of Virginia State Route 641 on grounds covering about 40 acres of open fields and rural landscape. Visitors should plan for outdoor exploration and wear appropriate clothing for walking through a historic property.
Descendants of Major John Redd gathered at Belleview for a family reunion in June 1931, showing how the house remained a center of family history and memories across generations. This gathering reveals that the place held personal significance far beyond its role as a working plantation.
