About This Home

As of October 2025

Looking for a getaway that's equal parts cozy cabin, adventure basecamp, and ''you've-got-to-see-this'' cool? Welcome to 40-1 Bates Road in Abbott, where a humble 1991 camper got a glow-up with a huge addition and is now a full-fledged 3-bedroom, 1-bath hideaway on 4.75 acres. You'll have 400+ feet of frontage on Ladd Brook for lazy afternoons by the water, plus a network of groomed walking trails right on your land. Feel like a little target practice? There's even your own pistol range with a berm/backstop. When you're ready to venture out, hop straight onto the recreational trail system — no loading the trailer, no fuss. This cabin runs on generator power for now, but the grid is just 3-4 poles away if you decide to plug in. There's a holding tank for blackwater and a water catchment system to keep things flowing, but plenty of space to install a well and septic when you're ready for ''full luxury mode.'' Outdoor spaces? Oh, we've got those. A sunny deck for morning coffee, a porch for lazy afternoons, and a screened-in hangout that laughs in the face of bugs. Add a firepit under the stars and you've got the perfect four-season escape — all on a town-maintained, year-round road. Whether you're a trail rider, a brookside lounger, or just someone who likes a property with stories to tell, this one's ready to be your next chapter.
