RSSWoodstock For Sale … Sex, drugs and Rock n’ Roll for Sale for $8 Million
For just $8 million, you too can be the proud owner of a piece of “free love” Americana.
The famous or infamous farm in Bethel, NY farm that drew some 400,000 fans in 1969 for three days of sex, drugs and rock n’ roll is up for sale. Although if you ask people today if they went to Woodstock, the numbers that say yes swell to over a million.
(Woodstock Today)
Up for sale is the2,000-square-foot house that belonged to dairy farmer Max Yasgur, along with a larger farmhouse, a barn and 103 bucolic acres about 80 miles north of New York City.
(Woodstock of yesteryear)
Included are a gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances, double convection ovens, Viking stove, antique soapstone sink, 22-foot vaulted ceilings and expansive views of the Pocono Mountains. There’s also a double whirlpool tub, steam shower and bidet.
There must be some baby-boomer sell out one time hippie out their driving a Beamer and now owning their own multi- million dollar business who would like to own “Woodstock” strictly for the nostalgia. The house on the farm where Woodstock took place has a bidet? Why does that just seem so wrong?

I’m sure it will have no problem selling. I was a little young when Woodstock took place, but I appreciate the history of it and have watched it on VH1classics since. What a joy for those who were able to attend. Such great music of that era.
Well, I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, ‘Tell where are you going?’
This he told me
Said, ‘I¹m going down to Yasgur’s Farm,
Gonna join in a rock and roll band.
Got to get back to the land and set my soul free.’
We are stardust, we are golden,
We are billion year old carbon,
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
‘Well, then can I walk beside you?
I have come to lose the smog,
And I feel like I’m a cog in something turning.
And maybe it’s the time of year,
Yes and maybe it’s the time of man.
And I don’t know who I am,
But life is for learning.’
We are stardust, we are golden,
We are billion year old carbon.
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
We are stardust, we are golden,
We are billion year old carbon.
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
By the time we got to Woodstock,
We were half a million strong
I had a ticket to go.Oh well,what the hell.the music was good,I think.
It’s been said that if you say you remember Woodstock, you weren’t there.
Peace.
Who said I remember.They made a movie and an album.I still can sing the lyrics to “Feel like I fixing To Die.”I,also know Wavey Gravey and the family,and I was straight,I think

This is not the Woodstock site for sale for 8 million, this is Max Yasgur’s House for sale. Max Yasgur was the owner of the 69 Woodstock site. The current owner “Roy Howard” has been hosting reunion events for the last 10 years on the Yasgur property, but this is not the original Woodstock site I can say 100%. Sad to see it come to an end, the town shut them down so he is selling.
Woodstock 69 was in a nearby farm field. And now The Woodstock 69 site has been developed on, it is now called Bethel Woods Performing Arts Center, they totaly ruined the Woodstock 69 site when they build Bethel Woods. That site would sell for much more than 8 million, I think it last sold for 40 million almost 10 years back.
I am sure someone will snap up this land. Only thing is, you have to be willing to put up with the pilgrims who undoubtedly make their way there year after year.
The greatest memory I had when I went to Woodstock (Yes, I was there) was when that woman who gave birth during Jesse Colin Young’s turn to sing. Before Jesse sang his song, he mentioned on the mic that a cat told him that his woman is giving birth, I was sitting beside them! Is it possible that I can only buy that piece of land where we sat? I can still remember it well where exactly that spot is.
