Property Description

**Authentic Timber-Frame Creekfront Estate on Howe Creek** Some homes are simply built. Others are thoughtfully crafted to become part of a family's story. Tucked beneath a canopy of mature trees on more than an acre along the tidal waters of Howe Creek, this extraordinary 4-bedroom, 4-bath authentic timber-frame estate offers a rare opportunity to own a home with a soul all its own. Here, the beauty begins with the architecture. Massive exposed Tennessee oak timbers rise overhead, forming the very structure of the home and creating soaring ceilings, dramatic open spaces, and a warmth that only true timber-frame craftsmanship can provide. At the heart of the home, a spectacular floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the great room, while expansive windows draw the beauty of the creek and surrounding marshland indoors. Natural light filters through the trees, and the changing tides create an ever-changing backdrop just beyond your windows. The first-floor primary suite offers privacy and convenience, complemented by a home office, laundry room, and flexible studio or craft space. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms include a private living area with its own separate entrance--an exceptional opportunity for guests, multigenerational living, a private retreat, or creative studio. The kitchen and bathrooms are ready for a new owner's vision, offering the opportunity to thoughtfully update the home while preserving the architectural character that makes it so special. The home is now vacant, allowing buyers to experience its generous proportions, dramatic timber framing, and remarkable potential without the distraction of furnishings. And then there is the setting. From your own backyard, watch the tides move through Howe Creek, listen to the birds in the marsh, launch a kayak or paddleboard, fish the creek, or simply sit beneath the trees and let the day slow down. The creek is tidal and offers boat access within approximately two hours on either side of low tide, creating a wonderful connection to the waterways beyond. A private dock may be possible, subject to permitting. This is not a home that can be easily replicated. You cannot recreate a mature waterfront setting, an acre of privacy, or the character and craftsmanship of a true timber-frame structure. For the buyer who appreciates authenticity, architecture, nature, and the quiet luxury of living on the water, **6308 Timber Creek Lane is more than a property--it is an opportunity to own something truly irreplaceable.**
