Esmont is a historic home located near Esmont, Albemarle County, Virginia. The house was built about 1818, and is a two-story, three-bay, square structure in the Jeffersonian style. It has a double pile, central passage plan. It is topped by a low hipped roof, surmounted by internal chimneys, further emphasized by the use of a balustrade with alternating solid and Chinese lattice panels. The front facade features a full-length tetrastyle porch with Doric order columns and entablature. Also on the property are a contributing brick kitchen with a low hipped roof, office, a dairy and a smokehouse. The house was built for Dr. Charles Cocke, a nephew of James Powell Cocke who built the Edgemont.[3]
