A Cozy, Countryside Woodstock Compound Where Rock Legends Recorded Music Seeks $1.5M

Bearsville Records–an influential, artist-driven record label founded in 1969 by music manager Albert Grossman in Woodstock–helped establish Upstate New York’s creative spirit, and now the landmark property they once owned is for sale seeking $1.495 million. Ozzy Osbourne, Todd Rundgren, Meat Loaf, R.E.M., Jeff Buckley, Dave Matthews Band, and Phish all recorded here at points, so to call it legendary is certainly on key.

Dating back to 1873, the main farmhouse is the property’s heart and soul, but there’s also a guest cottage and a lingering studio building ready to be finished out. Set two hours north of New York City, it’s just waiting for someone to unleash their creative energy here.

The interiors have a quirky, eclectic aura that nods to the home’s groovy, golden era. Laidback and cozy, the vaulted living room ideal for gathering or songwriting is anchored by a wood-fired stove–not your typical suburban fireplace, but one that lends the space a more rustic and storybook feel. A mix of old and personal elements appear throughout, from the dramatic, dark-lit chef’s kitchen to lime-washed walls and hardwood that compliment one another, creating a richly lived-in texture. An unexpected modern perk comes in the form of a cedar sauna, proving once again that this property isn’t cookie-cutter. Plus, it could provide the future owner with a place to unwind between recording sessions.

The cultural location only adds to the appeal. Just steps away from Cub Market and Bearsville Theatre, and only two miles from Woodstock, the property offers an exceptional opportunity to own a rich piece of musical history while being immersed in the Catskills.
