Pennterra is a Georgian farmhouse near Thurmont, Maryland. The house is notable for its locally-quarried stonework and its unusually fine proportions. The house was built at about the same time as nearby Strawberry Hill, which was built in 1783.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
