Rustic New York retreat of B-52s legend hits market for $750K

Cozy Cabin Retreat in Upstate New York Woods

K
ate Pierson, co-founder of The B-52s, is selling her "Love Shack" in the woods of upstate New York. Dubbed "Kate's Lazy Cabin," this 1,334-square-foot cabin has been listed for $750,000 and boasts a unique blend of mid-century charm and art pop flair.

    The cabin, built in 1952, features wood-paneled rooms, beamed ceilings, and vintage decorations throughout its three bedrooms. While it has undergone some renovations, including new HVAC and bathroom updates, the property still needs a full renovation to bring it up to modern standards.

    Pierson's love of kitschy decor is evident in the cabin's design, with hand-painted murals and Native American-inspired motifs adding to its charm. However, potential buyers may want to consider updating the 1950s-era kitchen appliances and murals, which may not be to everyone's taste.

    Despite needing some TLC, "Kate's Lazy Cabin" offers a unique opportunity for someone to own a piece of rock history in a secluded yet conveniently located spot just minutes from Woodstock's main street. The property is listed by Compass agent Diana Polack, who notes that the proximity to town and the cabin's quirky charm make it an attractive option for buyers looking for a fixer-upper with character.

    Pierson owns the cabin with her wife, artist Monica Coleman, who remains local despite not living in the cabin full-time. The couple has experience in real estate, having previously operated vintage-inspired rentals and motels across the country.
