44 Timbercliffe Drive is one of those rare properties that feels entirely removed from the world while sitting less than a mile from the center of Camden.Set on 2 private acres, the house is tucked among mature pines and established gardens. This architecturally designed post and beam home blends traditional timber-frame craftsmanship with contemporary design, and the property offers a combination that is increasingly difficult to find: privacy, architectural character, walkability, and a lovely 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment above the detached three-car garage.The approach winds through trees and carefully cultivated grounds before opening to a setting that feels unexpectedly secluded. Stonework, perennial gardens, and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces create a landscape that has been shaped and refined over time.Designed with passive solar principles, the home is filled with natural light throughout the day. Exposed beams, warm wood finishes, and expansive windows create a strong connection to the outdoors, while the floor plan balances open gathering spaces with comfortable retreats. A wood stove anchors the main living area, while a screened porch, terraced patio, and garden paths encourage a life lived as much outdoors as in.The main residence includes four bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a flexible upper-level space well suited for a studio, library, office, or additional living area. From there, seasonal glimpses of Penobscot Bay serve as a reminder that the harbor is never far away.Equally appealing is the post and beam apartment above the garage. Ideal for extended family, guests, a private workspace, or potential rental income, it offers the comfort, character, and independence of a home of its own.From here, Camden's harbor, shops, restaurants, and library are just a short stroll down historic High Street, yet the experience of arriving home feels a world apart.
