Featured in the film The Northern Kingdom, Red Hen Farm is an Andes treasure and a Catskill Premier property. Built circa 1890, this iconic homestead was settled by one of the founding families of Andes. This property has only had two owners in the past 128 years - the roots run deep in this beautiful area of the Great Western Catskill Mountains. The current owner is an avid equestrian and the property is ideal for those who own and love horses, but has a great deal of flexibility.

Many original details adorn the house including wood floors, brass door knobs, period lighting fixtures, wood molding and more.
