Welcome to 11 Goldfinch Lane, a bright and airy ultra-efficient house with spectacular views set on more than 290 feet of deep water oceanfront on Newbury Neck in Surry. A sloping path leads down to a gravel beach perfect for swimming, playing or launching kayaks. Designed by Phil Kaplan of the renowned Kaplan and Thompson Architects, this three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home is a model of state-of-the-art energy use, certified by the PassivHaus Institute. With 36 solar panels generating more power than the house consumes and a whole-house ERV system providing a continuous flow of fresh, filtered air, the home's environmentally conscious design creates a uniquely comfortable and energy-saving year-round living space. The primary bedroom and bathroom are conveniently located on the first floor, and the open layout streams natural light throughout. A deck facing the water and a three-season porch offer serene views of the mountains of Acadia National Park across the bay, while beautiful gardens with stone walls add to the charm. Inside, the house feels sheltered and quiet, with 18-inch walls and triple-pane glass, and there are ocean and mountain views from almost every room. Heating and cooling are powered by Mitsubishi heat pumps, with a whole-house backup generator for peace of mind. The two-car garage includes a level 2 car charger, with a large additional area upstairs for storage. Practical features like fiber optic internet, triple-pane windows, and solid maple floors complement the home's thoughtful design. Equidistant to Blue Hill and Ellsworth, this property offers exceptional convenience. Biking, hiking, swimming, and kayaking are accessible directly from the property; no car needed! The house offers a rare combination of comfort, beauty and net-zero energy efficiency. 11 Goldfinch Lane is more than a home - it's a statement of healthful living, surrounded by the beauty and magic of the Blue Hill Peninsula.
