If you are of or a fan of the Woodstock generation and you have a cool 8 million dollars to play with, the iconic Yasgur’s farm is now for sale. The property that originally hosted the Woodstock event was sold off previously now hosts the Bethel Woods Center. But when you think of Woodstock you think of Yasgur’s Farm.
Roy Howard, the current owner, is packing it in after years of tangling with local officials over permits for reunion gatherings to mark the 1969, three-day Woodstock music festival that helped ignite a generation.
Up for sale is the 2,000-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. 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.
The nearby alfalfa field where the concert was held isn’t included in the sale. It’s owned by cable magnate Alan Gerry, who turned it into the 4,800-seat Bethel Woods Center last summer.
Yasgur lent out the alfalfa field for the concert after promoters were rejected by officials in the nearby town of Woodstock. About 400,000 people packed the field Aug. 15-17 for the festival that drew the biggest names in music _ Jimi Hendrix and the Who among them. via the washingtonpost.com.

I hate that such a historical and sentimental place is boiled down to its worth. when i was looking for information on what was going on with the sale I found one site that showed the value to be substantially less. Here is the link http://blog.housefront.com/?p=101#respond tell me what you think of this whole “all about the dollars issue)
