T
he iconic bluestone estate in Woodstock, New York, where Bob Dylan's 1965 album "Bringing It All Back Home" was photographed, has sold for $4.6 million, making it the most expensive residential property with a livable home to sell in the town.

    Built in 1914, the four-bedroom, 3,899-square-foot main residence features historic woodwork, wide-plank floors, and a carved-stone exterior. The estate's grounds include a farmhouse, woodland cabin, apartment, "Viking Hall," greenhouse, amphitheater, and saltwater pool.

    The property has been a hub for music and literary legends, including Janis Joplin, Johnny Cash, George Harrison, and Allen Ginsberg. After its original owner, Albert Grossman's manager of Dylan and other famous artists, passed away in 1986, his widow Sally owned the estate until her death in 2021.

    The sale makes it the priciest home sale in Woodstock's history, surpassing a 600-acre tract with an abandoned structure that sold for $7 million in 2023. The new owner has not been identified, but listing agent Michelle Bergkamp said the estate's rich history and cultural significance generated great interest from potential buyers.

    The property's eclectic character is enhanced by outbuildings such as "Viking Hall," a greenhouse, meditation gazebo, and outdoor amphitheater wired for performances. A heated saltwater pool and spring-fed pond round out the recreational offerings.

    Cartoonist John Striebel owned the house during the 1920s and 1930s, and later decades saw it host a steady stream of musicians, poets, and artists, including contemporary visitors like Björk and the Dave Matthews Band.
