The house that appeared on one of Bob Dylan\u2019s most iconic album covers has struck a chord on the market, selling for $4.6 million.<\/p>\n

The bluestone estate in Woodstock, New York, where the cover art of Dylan\u2019s 1965 \u201cBringing It All Back Home\u201d was shot, became the most expensive residential property with a livable home to sell in the town, according to Mansion Global. <\/a><\/p>\n

Only a 600-plus-acre tract with an abandoned structure and boathouse, which traded for $7 million in 2023, has sold for more.<\/p>\n

The sellers, whose names have not been disclosed, purchased the roughly 72-acre compound from Sally Grossman, the widow of Dylan\u2019s manager, Albert Grossman \u2014 who died in 1986.<\/p>\n

It was Sally Grossman who famously appeared draped across a sofa in that album cover photograph, with the home\u2019s fireplace mantel in the frame.<\/p>\n

Albert Grossman, who managed not only Dylan but also The Band; Peter, Paul and Mary; and Janis Joplin, owned the property beginning in the 1960s.<\/p>\n

The estate served as both retreat and a salon, with Johnny Cash, George Harrison, Allen Ginsberg and novelist William Kennedy among the many visitors. After Grossman\u2019s death, Sally took over the property and held it until her own passing in 2021.<\/p>\n

Built in 1914, the main residence features a carved-stone exterior, a broad covered porch, and historic interiors with original woodwork, Dutch doors, wide-plank floors and the fireplace immortalized on Dylan\u2019s record.<\/p>\n

The four-bedroom, 3,899-square-foot dwelling contains two full bathrooms and two half baths.<\/p>\n

The grounds also include a four-bedroom farmhouse, a woodland cabin with a kitchen and bath, and a one-bedroom apartment once used by Grossman to run Bearsville Records.<\/p>\n

Outbuildings add to the eclectic character: \u201cViking Hall,\u201d a soaring studio-like structure, a greenhouse, a meditation gazebo and an outdoor amphitheater wired for performances. A heated saltwater pool and spring-fed pond round out the recreational offerings.<\/p>\n

The property carries deep cultural pedigree.<\/p>\n

Cartoonist John Striebel, creator of the Dixie Dugan comic strip, owned the house during the 1920s and 1930s. Later decades saw it play host to a steady stream of musicians, poets and artists, including more contemporary visitors such as Bj\u00f6rk and the Dave Matthews Band.<\/p>\n
