Sabattus is a country town known for its lake
While it’s only 5 miles from Lewiston-Auburn, Sabattus offers a rural feel with lakefront homes and outdoor recreation. “It just has this cozy hometown vibe,” says Cindy Morin, who grew up in Sabattus and is a broker and Realtor with Fontaine Family-The Real Estate Leader. “I can’t stress enough about the people — the people are just really good here: friendly and welcoming. I’ve always been really proud to come from this town.” Sabattus Pond is the area’s main attraction, offering public access for fishing, swimming and boating. The town also has a small commercial area for necessities and entertainment. “You don’t even have to go out of town; it has everything you need,” Morin says, “but if you do, you're only a couple of miles from what you need in Lewiston.”
Sabattus provides a peaceful and intimate setting for residents seeking a quiet lifestyle.
Fishing and swimming on Sabattus Pond, plus disc golf courses
Sabattus Pond is the community’s main source of entertainment. “My biggest excitement growing up was the lake,” Morin says. “We’d swim, boat, fish, and it was all walking distance from where I lived.” Many homes offer private lake access, and Martin’s Point Park has a public beach and boat launch. Fishing is particularly popular here, and even in winter people will get out on the frozen water to ice fish. “It’s a really great lake for pike — you can catch some monster pike out of there,” Morin says. Sabattus Disc Golf is another popular way to get outside. The facility has four courses of varying skill levels and offers lessons and tournaments. Devils Grove Disc Golf nearby has two courses.
Visitors and residents alike can enjoy a tranquil fishing experience on Sabattus Pond.
Sabattus Disc Golf is a popular recreational amenity in the Sabattus area, attracting locals and visitors alike.

Cold winters can sometimes cause power outages
Maine typically has cold and snowy winters. Morin says the roads are plowed quickly, so travel is rarely affected, but there can be power outages. “In a rural setting, it’s always good to have a backup heating source or a generator,” Morin says. “If you have a furnace, it's nice to have a wood stove too. It’s a lot easier if you’re warm and cozy if you do lose power.”
