On the market for $2.4 million through Chris Pomeroy and Nancy Felcetto of Brown Harris Stevens, the estate in Mount Tremper, New York, was acquired by Lang about 45 years ago and remained his home until his passing in 2022 at the age of 77. Spanning 17 acres, the property, known as Happy Brooks and located roughly 40 miles from the site of the iconic music festival, was originally built between 1929 and 1933 for artist G. Adolph Anderson, with architectural design by A.M. Bedell. The estate features three impressive stone structures: a main house, a two-bedroom guesthouse, and a separate cottage.

“There have always been musicians, painters, sculptors, and writers who have either lived there, stayed there, or created there,” Pomeroy told Mansion Global. The picturesque grounds include wildflower fields, a large pond with an art island, an oval cement swimming pool, and a three-stall barn.

Pomeroy described the property as a “very private world of your own” once you cross the gate. The main house boasts four bedrooms and is entered through a double-height great room. It also includes an office, an upper-level bedroom, and a library. A central foyer leads to a formal dining room with mountain views and a country kitchen featuring a breakfast area, a wood stove, and a built-in bread oven. Additional highlights include a reading room with stained glass windows and a striking conservatory with a 24-foot glass ceiling.

The guest house offers an oversized living room, a dining area, a kitchen, and a den with a large bluestone fireplace, complemented by “a striking built-in collection of Fu dogs and woodcarvings on gilded plaques collected from [Lang’s] travels.”

The original Woodstock Music and Art Fair took place on a farm in Bethel, New York, from August 15-18, 1969. Lang, then a 24-year-old concert promoter, later relocated the festival to Woodstock, joining forces with Artie Kornfeld, Joel Rosenman, and John Roberts. The festival is now preparing to celebrate its 55th anniversary.
