About this property
A River Runs Through It.
Nestled along a slow-moving river, the house is a warm, rustic retreat that feels like it’s been lived in for generations. The interior is a quiet homage to craftsmanship and character, blending Timberlake’s love of Americana and nature with Hemingway’s rugged, worldly masculinity
This river house isn’t about trends—it’s about soul. A space where stories are told, fish are caught, and time slows down.
The space
Rough-hewn wood panels in weathered pine or reclaimed barn wood line the walls, bearing the soft gray patina of age. Framed wildlife prints and watercolor landscapes—reminiscent of Bob Timberlake’s artwork—dot the walls, interspersed with vintage black-and-white photos and fishing maps folded at the edges.
Guest access
The entire home and 2.3 acre property along with the stream
