Rose Hill Farm is a historic home and farm located near Winchester, Frederick County, Virginia. It is a vernacular Federal style, 2+12-story brick and stucco structure built about 1819. The earliest section was built about 1797, and began as a three-room-plan, 1+12-story, log structure built upon a limestone foundation. About 1850, the house was enhanced with vernacular Greek Revival-style elements. Also on the property are a contributing summer kitchen (c. 1862), cistern (date unknown), corn crib (date unknown), and barn (c.1850–1860).[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.[1]
