Roc's Nest was a residence in the Summerlands during Dragonhollow's Fourth Era.
It was built by Rocco in an open lot behind the Summergate Post Office on the West Road on land leased to him rent-free by Retro and served as his primary residence after he lost his claim on the Reindeerio. 
Though Rocco often referred to it as his “treehouse”, Roc's Nest was actually a freestanding house next to a willow tree. Having repeatedly lost his belongings to scavengers and thieves, he asked Retro to help him design a secret storehouse.
The house itself was a ruse, meant to appear as his main residence, while in truth it was only there to hide a control lever that opened a piston-powered hidden chute to a subterranean complex. Inside lay a square chest room identical to the one in Retro's own Corner Joint. A hidden staircase with a piston gate exited near Rocco's Pixel Art Museum, making it easy to travel between the two properties safely.
All of the redstone elements were constructed by Retro.
The willow tree's trunk hid a winding stone staircase that descended to bedrock level and led to a strange 5x3 tunnel that ran northwest between Ashford and Libreville before reaching a dead end below the ocean.
Roc's Nest was looted and destroyed by vandals on 4E:412 at the height of the Fall of Summer.
Tox credited the Roc's Nest's fake house concept as inspiration for Hammerhome.
