Rocklands is a historic home and farm complex near Gordonsville in Orange County, Virginia, comprising a main house built around 1905 and extensively renovated in 1933–1935 under architect William Lawrence Bottomley's direction. The principal residence is a 2½-story Georgian Revival brick dwelling with five bays and a hipped roof, distinguished by a monumental Ionic hexastyle portico across its front facade. Bottomley's renovation also yielded a service court with a garage, servant's house, woodshed, and connecting tunnel. The property retains numerous contributing structures spanning nearly two centuries—a guest house, 19th-century coach barn, mid-19th-century farm manager's house, Spencer Neale Jr. Residence (circa 1900), bank barn (circa 1910), and a brick house from 1822—that together document the evolution of a significant Virginia agricultural estate. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005 and holds Virginia Historic Landmark status.
