“There have always been musicians, painters, sculptors, and writers who have either lived there, stayed there, or created there,” Pomeroy told Mansion Global. The picturesque grounds include wildflower fields, a large pond with an art island, an oval cement swimming pool, and a three-stall barn.

Pomeroy described the property as a “very private world of your own” once you cross the gate. The main house boasts four bedrooms and is entered through a double-height great room. It also includes an office, an upper-level bedroom, and a library. A central foyer leads to a formal dining room with mountain views and a country kitchen featuring a breakfast area, a wood stove, and a built-in bread oven.

The original Woodstock Music and Art Fair took place on a farm in Bethel, New York, from August 15-18, 1969. Lang, then a 24-year-old concert promoter, later relocated the festival to Woodstock, joining forces with Artie Kornfeld, Joel Rosenman, and John Roberts. The festival is now preparing to celebrate its 55th anniversary.
