On Main Street in Stockton Springs, this brand-new 2026 home is short distance to town and has a small, private backyard that looks onto an old apple grove next door. A little-known public shore access with a picnic area sits less than a mile away, a short stroll from the door. It's the kind of spot that gives you the coast without the waterfront tax bill. Inside, natural materials do the work. Solid white oak floors, a custom maple kitchen, blue slate, and lime-wash walls keep it calm and modern, while vaulted ceilings and oversized windows make 1,176 square feet live larger than the number suggests. The finishes speak for themselves, and there's just as much built into what you can't see. Performance like this usually means a custom build and a long wait. Here it's already done. It runs far tighter and better-insulated than most homes on the market, so it charges very little to run. It has three heat pumps for efficient heating and cooling, a fresh-air ventilation system, a heat pump water heater, and a standing seam metal roof built for decades of snow. With its low energy demand and a southeast-facing roofline, it's a strong candidate for solar down the road. A flexible loft, full basement, and two-car garage keep storage from ever being a problem. Fort Point State Park, Sandy Point Beach, and the town dock are a few minutes' drive. Belfast, with its restaurants and working harbor, is 15 minutes away.
