Welcome to Rocky Knoll Haven Farm, a rare 27.66‑acre retreat offering unmatched serenity and some of the most breathtaking views in Frederick County. From the moment you step onto the property, a sense of calm washes over you — rolling hills, open skies, and the majestic Catoctin Mountains framing your horizon. This is more than a home; it’s a legacy property. A place built with craftsmanship you simply don’t find anymore. An impeccably maintained all‑brick rancher sits at the heart of the property, offering durability, comfort, and timeless appeal. 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2‑car attached garage, living room, dining room with a custom built‑in hutch, large kitchen and an adjoining office/bonus room (potential 4th bedroom). Beautiful hardwood floors throughout the main level, partially finished basement featuring a cozy gas fireplace. The roof is approx. 5 years old with long‑lasting 50‑year shingles, whole‑house generator for peace of mind. This extraordinary property sits on a generous lot and offers the unique advantage of a possible reserved building right for a secondary residential dwelling, subject to county, township approvals and zoning regulations. Perfect for farming, equipment storage, workshops, or hobby agriculture — the possibilities are endless with this Agricultural‑zoned property that includes: 24 × 64 hay barn. 24 × 60 workshop with 18 × 40 rear lean‑to, air compressor, wood stove, electric & water and lofts for additional storage. 30 × 60 hay & equipment storage barn with electric. Two additional sheds for lawn equipment or overflow storage. The acreage provides open fields with postcard‑worthy views in every direction — a dream setting for farming, horses, or simply enjoying wide‑open space. The original owners built the home of their dreams and now hope to make someone else's dream come true.
