TDS Editors

For a mere $8 million, a tangential piece of 60’s nostalgia can be yours.

From a press release issued today:

Max Yasgur’s homestead (including his residence, 5,000 sq ft. farmhouse, 7,000 sq. ft. calving barn, and over 103 acres) is now for sale. Yasgur was the dairy farmer who became a cultural icon when he allowed 40 acres of his Bethel farm to be used in August 1969 for the gathering now known as “The Woodstock Music and Arts Festival.”

The Yasgur property farmhouse, which was built in 1876, has the original hand-hewn beams but has been renovated recently and includes the following additional features:

- Gourmet kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, double convection
ovens, Viking stove, antique soapstone sink, 22 ft. vaulted ceilings
and expansive views of the Pocono Mountains;
– Ground-floor master suite with private entrance, built-in cabinets,
laundry-room access and exercise room with sauna;
– Master bathroom with double whirlpool tub, steam shower, bidet and
double vanity;
– Two upstairs bedrooms, full bathroom and cedar-ceiling loft with
western exposure; and
– 18 ft. vaulted living-room ceiling with antique soapstone wood-burning
stove.

The Yasgur residence (circa 1940) is approximately 2,000 sq. ft. and has three bedrooms, sun rooms, and detached two-car garage.
