The secluded Stony Point home and studio where one of America’s greatest living artists found inspiration is on the market.

Jasper Johns’ converted 1930s barn, tucked into a hillside and hidden from view along West Main Street, is listed with Ellis Sotheby’s International Realty for $600,000.

“I do most of my work here,” the reclusive artist told The Journal News in 1976. “That’s why I had to add this space. Since I made the addition and have been here full time, I’m beginning to enjoy it.”
