Set on 6.12 acres on Newbury Neck in Surry, this distinctive property enjoys views across Union River Bay to the mountains of Mount Desert Island, with Carrying Place Beach just across the road. An airy single-level home, attached three-story guest tower, fenced yard and established gardens create a private coastal retreat. Built in 1981, the approximately 2,175-square-foot main house offers two bedrooms, two full baths and a versatile bonus room ideal for an office or creative space. Exposed timber trusses define the open living and dining area, with hardwood floors, a stone fireplace with propane insert and a wall of windows framing the water views. A sunroom overlooks the gardens and woods. The kitchen has granite counters, double wall ovens and a butcher-block breakfast bar. The primary suite includes an accessible bath, walk-in closet and private deck with bay views. Both baths have been updated. Built in 2012, the architect-designed guest tower adds approximately 828 square feet. Its first floor has a kitchen, dining area and half bath; the second has a bedroom, full bath and private balcony. The window-lined top floor offers panoramic views of the bay, mountains and gardens, ideal as a sitting room or studio. Additional balconies, an outdoor shower, and separate heating and septic systems add flexibility. Outside are perennial gardens, flowering shrubs, young fruit trees, raised vegetable beds and a long pergola-covered deck. A 12 kW solar array installed in 2022 helps offset electricity for much of the year. Other features include heat pumps, updated roofing and a two-car garage with Level 2 EV charging. Carrying Place Beach offers swimming, shore fishing and hand-carry boat access. Downtown Ellsworth is approximately 12 minutes away, and Blue Hill village is about 12 miles away.
