Gay Mont, Federal heritage building in Port Royal, Virginia, United States.
The two-story Gay Mont building stands on a terraced ridge above the Rappahannock River valley with stuccoed brick wings and Tuscan columns.
Originally constructed around 1790 by John Hipkins, the central section of Gay Mont burned in 1959 and underwent reconstruction as a stuccoed masonry structure.
The property features a documented historic garden with geometric patterns and shrubbery-lined gravel paths, incorporating European plants ordered by John Hipkins Bernard.
The National Register of Historic Places listed property remains a private residence, viewable from public roads in Caroline County.
The site includes a family cemetery with 40 graves and maintains its original brick kitchen building from the eighteenth century.
