Belnemus is a historic home located near Powhatan, Powhatan County, Virginia. The original section was built about 1798, and enlarged in the 1820s and in the 20th century. The original section has a "Palladian" plan with a central two-story, three bay central section with a hipped roof and flanking one-story wings. It features a full-length, one-story porch, with four Tuscan order columns and lattice balustrade. Also on the property are a number of contributing outbuildings including a smokehouse, dairy, and equipment shed.[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
