It’s not every day that you can buy a piece of music history, or at the very least tour it. The iconic home where Bob Dylan recorded much of his music is officially up for sale and you can take a look at it right now. You can find the New York home in Woodstock, N.Y., which is already known for a major piece of musical history thanks to the legendary Woodstock Festival of 1969, which took place in nearby Bethel, N.Y.

There is a little more history to the Woodstock home that you may be interested in. Built in 1914, the stone house was once owned by cartoonist John Striebel, creator of the Dixie Dugan comic strip. But later on, music manager Albert Grossman purchased the home and brought in numerous legendary voices.
Located at 18 Striebel Road, Woodstock, New York, the home has four bedrooms, four baths and tons of notable features, including its stunning woodwork, wood-burning fireplace and a peaceful front porch. The property is currently listed on Zillow for just shy of $5 million.

Along with the main home, the property includes Viking Hall next door to the main house, which features “a bright and open studio area, ideal for artists, musicians, wellness practitioners or remote work. With hand-hewn beams, loft space, French doors, and spa-like amenities—including a sauna, steam shower and soaking tub—the space combines rustic elegance with modern comfort, perfect for creative retreats, workshops or wellness sessions.”
Part of the estate is also the Farmhouse at Speare Road, which includes four bedrooms, two bathrooms and would be perfect as a guest house. There is also a “charming cabin complete with a bedroom, bathroom and cozy kitchen.”
Along with its beauty, musicians like Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Johnny Cash, George Harrison and even the Dave Matthews Band have wandered through the home and the walls have heard their voices.
Whether you know the Woodstock home, it’s likely you’ve seen it before even if not in person. You might recall the cover of Bob Dylan’s fifth studio album, Bringing It All Back Home, where Dylan posed with model Sally Grossman in the stunning living room of this home. The album’s most memorable songs include “Mr. Tambourine Man” and “Subterranean Homesick Blues” and pieces of the renowned album were also recorded in the home.
If you’re interested in seeing inside the iconic home that witnessed music history, it is available to tour and is currently on the market.
