Timberhouse is a historic plantation house located at Newberry, Newberry County, South Carolina. It was built about 1858 by Jacob Kibler, and is a two-story, weatherboarded Greek Revival style dwelling.[2] It features double-tiered full-width porches supported by six square wood pillars and exterior end chimneys.[2][3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]

Kibler, who built the residence, owned 68 slaves in 1850, eight years before Timberhouse was constructed.[3]
