Bellevue, also known as Wavertree Hall Farm, is a historic home and farm complex located near Batesville, Albemarle County, Virginia. The main house was built in 1859, and is a two-story, hip-roofed brick building with a two-story pedimented portico. It features wide bracketed eaves in the Italianate style and Greek Revival trim and woodwork. There are two 1+1⁄2-story brick wings on either side of the main block added about 1913, and a two-story brick south wing added in the 1920s. Also on the property are an antebellum log slave house, several tenant houses, a pump house, chicken house, and stable and barns. There is also an unusual underground room built into the north side of one of the garden terraces.[3]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[1]
