Bentivar is a historic home and farm located near Charlottesville, Albemarle County, Virginia. It is a one-story, double-pile brick residence, with English basement and clearstory attic. It has a Palladian piano nobile plan. The traditional date for the building of Bentivar is 1795, but rebuilt about 1830 after a fire. Also on the property is a stone structure, apparently originally used as a dairy; ice pit; and graveyard.[3]
