Deerfield, Garrett County, Maryland

Deerfield is a community located in rural western Maryland. The community comprises 35 lots located in scenic Garrett County. The community was originally formed and developed by the Frye/Gross Partnership in 1980 and largely remained undeveloped until a trailblazer by the name of John Case built a small log cabin on lot 12 in 1995. Since that time the community has seen a small building boom. Although all lots are sold, there are currently only 13 lots developed.
