Any other use is to be considered and submitted to the planning board. The town of Bethel is known for many lakes including Kauneonga Lake. Shops and restaurants along the lake to enjoy scenery and ambience. The Town of Bethel was brought to the world's attention in 1969, when nearly 500,000 people gathered at Max Yasgur's farm for "Three Days of Peace and Music". The documentary made about Woodstock released in 1970 showed interviews with numerous Bethel residents, including Art Vassmer, co-owner of Vassmers General Store in Kauneonga Lake. Loads of history and still about 2 hour drive from NYC. Don't miss out your opportunity to not only own a unique Farmhouse but also be part of a growing town and or development!!! Boating, hiking, hunting, parks.... etc... see yourself here?!
