Max Yasgur's Farm for Sale: Lists for $8 Million

Max Yasgur's homestead, including his residence, five-thousand square foot farmhouse, seven-thousand square foot calving barn, and over 103 acres, is now for sale. It's listed at eight million dollars. 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."

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