The house from Bob Dylan’s album cover sold for $4.6 Million
One of the most expensive deals in Woodstock’s history
A house in Woodstock, New York, famously featured on the cover of Bob Dylan’s iconic 1965 album Bringing It All Back Home, has been sold for $4.6 million. Situated on a scenic lot in the Catskill Mountains, the property was listed in May for approximately $4.99 million. Even with a slight discount, it became the most expensive residential sale ever recorded in Woodstock, according to official records.
According to sources, the current buyers purchased the home from Sally Grossman, the widow of Dylan’s former manager Albert Grossman. Sally herself appears on the album cover, seated beside the fireplace in the very home that once belonged to the Grossman family.
Albert Grossman owned the property from the 1960s onward and was regarded as one of the most influential music producers of his era. He represented such legendary artists as The Band, Peter, Paul and Mary, and Janis Joplin. His Woodstock residence became a hub for musical greats, with guests including Johnny Cash, George Harrison, writer William Kennedy, and poet Allen Ginsberg. After Albert’s death in 1986, ownership passed to Sally.
The main house was built in 1914. It features a bluestone façade and a classic front porch. The interiors have preserved much of their early 20th-century charm, including carved woodwork, wide-plank floors, Dutch-style doors – and, of course, the fireplace immortalized on the album cover.
The primary residence includes four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and two guest half-baths. Elsewhere on the grounds are: a separate four-bedroom, two-bath home; a cozy forest cottage with one bedroom, a bathroom and kitchen; and a one-bedroom apartment with a bath – the space from which Grossman once ran his Bearsville Records label.
Additional structures on the property include «Viking Hall» – a flexible space ideal for an artist’s studio, an office, or wellness retreat – as well as a greenhouse, a heated saltwater pool, a meditation gazebo, a spring-fed pond, and a small amphitheater equipped for live performances.
