Rock Cliff is a historic farm property at 12615 Norwood Road, near Wingina in Nelson County, Virginia. It consists of 692 acres (280 ha), roughly bounded by Norwood Road on the south, James River Road on the east, and Union Hill Road on the north. The property was developed beginning in 1854, the year the main house, a wood frame I-house, was built. It was developed by Dr. William Horsley, divided amongst his five children, and then reassembled by his grandson. The farm complex also includes a 19th-century smokehouse, kitchen, and doctor's office, as well as the c. 1860 Horsley family cemetery.[3]

The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.[1]
