Bellamont Forest is a Georgian Palladian country house completed in 1730 for Judge Thomas Coote in Cootehill, County Cavan, Ireland, and designed by architect Edward Lovett Pearce. Set within 1,000 acres of grounds, the house is considered one of the finest and earliest examples of Palladian architecture in Ireland, originally modelled loosely on Andrea Palladio's Villa La Rotonda in Vicenza, Italy. The house takes its name from the Earl of Bellomont.
