Its setting reflects its heritage — peaceful, private, and removed from suburban activity — ideal for buyers seeking a true country property rather than proximity to daily conveniences. Over two centuries, the property has served as a home, gathering place, and working landscape."

Its setting reflects its heritage — peaceful, private, and removed from suburban activity — ideal for buyers seeking a true country property rather than proximity to daily conveniences. Over two centuries, the property has served as a home, gathering place, and working landscape." Bon Aire is a rare Circa 1812 Federal-era estate overlooking the James River in Nelson County, Virginia. Long associated with the historic Cabell family, the home reflects classic Jeffersonian-period design with enduring craftsmanship and original architectural details. Set on approximately 43 acres, the property offers sweeping pastoral and river views, open fields, wooded privacy, and a peaceful rural setting. The main residence has been carefully restored and is suitable for comfortable living while preserving its historic integrity. Bon Aire presents a unique opportunity for a discerning buyer seeking a legacy property, country retreat, or historically significant residence within reach of Central Virginia’s cultural and natural amenities.
