Estouteville, Historic residence in Esmont, Virginia, United States.

The main house features a two-story central block measuring 68 feet by 43 feet, accompanied by two single-story wings of 35 feet by 26 feet each.

James Dinsmore, Thomas Jefferson's master carpenter, constructed this Roman Revival residence in 1827 after his work at Monticello and the University of Virginia.

The Great Hall spans 23 by 35 feet, displaying an extensive collection of artwork and sculptures gathered by current resident Beatrix Ost, a German-born artist.

The estate encompasses 350 acres and includes preserved outbuildings such as a kitchen house, dairy building, smokehouse, and former slave quarters.

The property contains a hidden space beneath the house that served as a passage point along the Underground Railroad during the 19th century.
