The Rock Grove Farm represents a significant landholding within the Buford township of Lancaster County, defined by fifty-six acres of rolling pasture and a disciplined focus on conservation. Established in 1997, the estate is anchored by a three-bedroom custom residence designed with an emphasis on permanence and organic materials. The architecture utilizes cedar siding and a stone foundation to integrate the structure into its wooded surroundings, while internal details—including cypress walls and a stacked-stone chimney—reflect a commitment to craftsmanship often absent in modern rural builds. The 1,434-square-foot interior is oriented toward a nearly six-acre pond, captured through substantial casement windows and expansive covered porches. In a submarket where large, contiguous tracts are increasingly fragmented, this acreage offers a rare level of privacy and environmental continuity for the region. For those seeking a legacy property with established stewardship, the estate serves as a sophisticated retreat or a foundation for further agricultural pursuits. Private viewings are coordinated exclusively through Peters & Associates.
About the home
The Rock Grove Farm | A Legacy Property set along Willie Usher Road in the Buford township of Lancaster County, The Rock Grove Farm encompasses approximately 56 acres of rolling pasture, mature woodland, and a picturesque 5.77-acre pond. Shaped by decades of family stewardship, this remarkable property is now ready for its next chapter. Tucked into a natural copse of trees, the custom log home feels both sheltered and expansive, with long covered porches offering views across open pasture and water. Built with premium, enduring materials, the home reflects the same care and permanence given to the land itself. Cedar siding, a stone foundation, and a stacked-stone chimney rising through the vaulted great room create a distinctive sense of character and craftsmanship. Inside, hardwood floors and cypress tongue-and-groove walls bring warmth and timeless appeal throughout the home. At the apex of the vaulted ceiling, a stained-glass art window catches the natural light, serving as a quiet signature of the home's craftsmanship. Dual 12’x 6’ casement windows frame the pastoral and lake views from the front of the home, while covered porches extend the full length of both the front and back-spaces designed for slow mornings, long evenings, and gathering with family and friends. The three-bedroom, two-bath home offers comfortable, character-rich living spaces, including a jacuzzi soaking tub and thoughtful details that complement its rustic yet refined setting. Beyond the home, the land itself tells a story of balance and intention. • At the heart of the property, the 5.77-acre pond serves as its picturesque anchor, complementing the rolling hills and expansive views captured from nearly every vantage point around the home. • ~ 23 acres of cleared tillable pasture provide opportunities for livestock, crops, equestrian pursuits, or continued homesteading. • ~ 20 acres of mature timber create a natural privacy buffer while offering opportunities for hunting, recreation, and exploring. A natural fruit grove adds another layer of character and connection to the land. • Additional acreage not included in this listing, surrounding this property is available for sale. The Rock Grove Farm is more than a residence. It is a property shaped by time, stewardship, and a deep connection to the land.
