Harmony House on a Legendary Woodstock-festival Lake

  |  November 11, 2025

Upstater is at a stunning home near the site of the original Woodstock music festival.

This is Harmony House, on a legendary Woodstock-festival lake—Filippini Pond, where festivalgoers skinny-dipped to cool off. This home was built nearly 25 years after that summer of peace and love. There’s much to love about this place, though, from its charcoal color scheme to the cantilevered terraces.

Laminate flooring in blackened-hardwood tones floods the foyer.

If you’re hankering for hardwood, just look up once you’re in the great room. Wood planking covers the ceiling, while sleek gray tile is both stunning and low-maintenance.

Black cabinets dramatically contrast the white counters in the galley-style kitchen.

Black and white are key in this bedroom, which also features floor-to-ceiling windows as well as French doors out to one of many private terraces.

There’s a nook for a little one, too.

The ensuite bath has a soaking tub with a Palladian window view, flanked by twin sinks. Everything is encased in gray/white tones of wood and marble. There are a total of 2.5 baths in the home.

A glass-doored shower stall parks next to the toilet.

Hey, it’s a Jack-and-Jill setup.

The second bedroom mimics the first in terms of flooring and French doors.

The third bedroom has a warmer tone of light terra-cotta tile on the floors.

Follow the spiral stairs down to that bedroom, along with this freeform bedroom/living area.

The full bath here is mostly white, from the subway tile to the fixtures, with black accents.

A laundry room has twin casement windows.

Another family room is just off the main-floor living room.

The 3,000-square-foot house sits on 1.13 acres. Of course, there’s a 60-foot floating dock into Filippini Pond—the house has 200 feet of frontage. The listing price is $825,000.

Its location makes it a perfect home base for concert fun, just a mile and a half away at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, but don’t overlook the other attractions, like Forestburgh Playhouse, a half-hour away; or the Stone Arch Bridge Historical Park, seven miles from here, which is gorgeous and has a Halloween-ish history.
