Bachelor's Hope is a historic home located at Chaptico, St. Mary's County, Maryland, listed as probably built between 1753 and 1790. [2]

It is known for the two-story brick central block with a jerkinhead roof, which contains one large ground-floor room. On either side are one-story, two-room brick wings. No other known 18th century structure in the state exists with a similar combination of the "Great Hall" plan, facade, and component features. [3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. [1]
