Off-Grid Escape: Cabin Life Meets Outdoor Adventure - Looking for a peaceful retreat? Discover this seasonal cabin tucked along the pristine shores of Bear Pond, a hidden gem near the Alton–New Durham line. Bear Pond is known for its clear waters, great fishing, and non-motorized boating—perfect for paddling, kayaking, or just soaking in the beauty of nature. This cozy off-grid cabin offers everything you need to unplug and unwind. Inside, you'll find a kitchen/dining area, a bedroom, a sleeping loft, and a fully windowed porch with stunning water views. A separate outbuilding provides extra storage or space for guests. Water must be brought in and there is no electric, just a part of the rustic charm that makes this place so special. Bear Pond Road is a Class VI road. A 4WD vehicle is recommended, and the road is not plowed in winter. In colder months, access is by foot or snowmobile. With nearby hiking trails and quiet surroundings, this cabin is perfect for nature lovers who want to slow down and recharge. For a bigger lake, the Merrymeeting boat launch is just minutes away. If you’ve been dreaming of a true back-to-nature experience, this is it. Schedule your private showing today and see what makes Bear Pond so special.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
