Legendary Yasgur's Farm FOR SALE!!!

I came upon a child of God, He was walking along the road

And I asked him where are you going, And this he told me —

I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm, I'm going to join in a rock 'n' roll band

I'm going to camp out on the land, I'm going to try an' get my soul free..

On August 15, 1969, a farmer named Max Yasgur addressed one of largest assemblies ever to gather when he addressed the crowd at the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival in the name of peace, love and music. Mr. Yasgur, now a cultural icon, allowed 40 acres of his 1,100 acre farm in upstate New York, to be used for Woodstock, thus making the musical and cultural event of the century possible. Today, the home, barn and lands of the world’s most celebrated farmer can be yours, as the “For Sale” sign has gone up on the original homestead of Max Yasgur.

Today, the original site of Woodstock is home to the $70 million Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. Local property values have benefited greatly from the development of the Arts Center, which is located less than 2 miles from the farm. The Arts Center features top-rated rock, pop, jazz, and classical performances from talents such as Bob Dylan, Dave Brubeck, The New York Philharmonic and Earth, Wind & Fire.

The Original Settlement House on the property dates back to 1876, when the property was known as the Sleath Farm. The ceiling exposes the original hand hewn beams and studs. Two extensions were recently added to the original structure bringing the total square footage of the house to almost 5,000 sq ft.

Some of the amenities of the home include:

• 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, custom closet, 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;
• 18 ft. vaulted living room ceiling with antique soapstone wood burning stove;
• 25 ft. by 40 ft. outdoor deck with spiral staircase leading to the second floor;
• Radiant heat floors with propane burner and seven separate heating zones;
• Two car garage
• Stone foundation cellar
  

The Yasgur residence (circa 1940) is approximately 2,000 sq. ft. and has the original fireplace, built-in-cabinets (built by Mr. Yasgur), 3 bedrooms, sun rooms off the kitchen and master bedroom, and detached two-car garage. Max’s Barn is approximately 7,000 sq ft. and is close to 100 years old. It has a stone foundation and original exterior, emblazoned with the name Yasgur, as well as hand-painted windows with 60’s music icons created by local artist Jewel Eggink. The floor and metal roof were replaced and the beams shored in 1997. The property is comprised of over 103 acres on five separate deeds with approximately 2,000 ft. of road frontage on State Route 17B. Yasgur Road is a 520 ft. road that leads into the private property.

This property is a part of cultural and musical history and represents the legacy of a generation.
