Happy Brooks, the Graceland of 1960's counter culture, is waiting for you!Home to Woodstock Festival co-founder and legendary music industry icon Michael Lang for 45 years, this Mt. Tremper compound boasts a pedigree that dates back to the 1920s. Originally built for the artist G. Adolph Anderson, the 17 acre estate features three architecturally significant structures made from stone, wood & imagination.Entering the primary residence is to step into history. The stunning double-height great room with balcony has played host to renowned artists through the decades. In this wing you will find an office, two powder rooms & upper level bedroom and library. Past a massive bluestone fireplace, a central foyer leads into a formal dining room with mountain views, a cooks kitchen, and an open-plan family room with another fireplace w/ wood stove & built-in bread oven with views across the pergola-covered patio just outside French doors. A light-filled hallway will take you to 3 oversized bedroom suites, including a romantic primary, as well as a reading room found behind magnificent stained glass doors. Connecting this wing of the home is a spectacular conservatory within a 24-foot glass ceiling.Across the central courtyard framed by a mature birch tree is a 2 BR guesthouse that holds design treasure. An oversized living room leads into a den w/bluestone fireplace and a striking built-in collection of Fu dogs and wood-carvings on gilded plaques collected from travels to China that depict an epic story. The third stone structure is a 2BR fully-outfitted & stylish cottage, and is connected to a three-bay garage and a greenhouse ready to be restored or turned into a Romanesque walled garden. Additional structures include a tool shed and 3 stall barn, as well as a picnic pavilion with views of Slide Mountain, the tallest peak of the Catskills.The compound is truly park-like, with paths, stone walls, orchards, wildflowers and a centerpiece large pond with its own art island showcasing a sculpture by Michael Lang. On summer days you can enjoy a swim in the 53 x 40 oval lined cement pool while gazing at the mountains in the distance. Mt.Tremper is a special community just minutes from both Woodstock and Phoenicia.Happy Brooks, only two hours from NYC is the perfect place to gather and soak up the history that flows from every bit of this legendary estate.
