8 Shepherds Way

About this home

More than a home, this is a place shaped by an artist's eye. Perched above the tidal tributaries of Brave Boat Harbor in Kittery Point, this distinctive contemporary was the home & creative space of the late Tim Beavis, a beloved local painter whose connection to the Maine landscape can be felt throughout. Like one of his paintings, the architecture brings together unexpected materials, texture, light & perspective, creating spaces that feel expressive, intentional & deeply connected to a sense of place. The two-bedroom, three-bath home centers around an open-concept living space where light, architecture & scenery become part of the composition. A fireplace brings warmth, while an expansive deck extends the living space outdoors, perfect for gathering with friends, lingering over a quiet morning, or watching the landscape shift with the light, tides & seasons. It is the kind of view that invites you to slow down and perhaps find a little creative inspiration of your own. The partially finished ground floor offers another world of possibility. With windows toward the water, it could be additional living space, a dramatic primary suite, creative space or something entirely its own. Separate from the residence is Beavis's former studio & gallery, with its own garage. The building could continue as a studio or gallery, become a guest retreat, or be converted into a full ADU, subject to approvals. The property sits directly along the tidal tributaries of Brave Boat Harbor & the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge. Launch a kayak or paddleboard from the property when the tide beckons, spend the afternoon at nearby beaches, or stay home & watch the marsh, water, wildlife & sky continually redraw the view. Downtown Kittery & Portsmouth, and I-95 are just minutes away. Art, architecture, water & nature converge here in a way that feels entirely its own. A home created in a landscape that inspired an artist, now ready to inspire whatever comes next. PRE-INSPECTED!
