Stroll out your door and into your own private paradise. Set amid 77 sun-dappled acres on the banks of a rushing stream and abutting over 600 acres of protected land, Red Gulch Farm is the very definition of both a nature lover’s dream and a romantic getaway. Imagine yourself on the porch sipping coffee, enjoying the sunrise while taking in the beauty of the glistening stream and listening to water falling…

The property is one of the last large parcels of uneased land available, and so poised for any outdoor enthusiast or privacy seeker. Equestrian? fisherman? writer? painter? animal lover? Your home, your adventure. With trails to the peak of Kent Falls, access to kayaking, swimming, fishing holes, and miles of nearby exploration, the options are endless. Surrounded by natural beauty and fresh country breezes, the property additionally offers both rolling hills and a pool-ready flat lawn, a pole barn with stalls, a small rustic bunk house, and a separate guest apartment that can double as an office or artist studio. 

The 2 bedroom cottage boasts an open living space, including a spacious vaulted living room with beamed ceilings and 2 sets of French doors; one accessing the open deck for sunbathing or star-gazing, the other to the screened porch overlooking the stream where you can unwind to the sound of rushing water. But the true centerpiece of the home is its historic living room fireplace and mantel, brought intact to the cottage living room by Joseph French Johnson from Alexander Hamilton’s NYC brownstone.  

The 2 bedroom/2 bath cottage also boasts a main level ensuite bedroom with private entry, a combination kitchen + family room w/ fireplace, a generous master bedroom suite w/ a 3rd fireplace, a sitting area, and balcony to view the tranquil setting of trees and water. All this, plus underground utilities.

On one of Kent’s most bucolic roads, and set back at the end of a long gravel drive with a dramatic mountain backdrop, you will find the hidden jewel that is Red Gulch Farm. Bordered by Kent Falls State Park and Connecticut open space, you can trust that no one will disrupt your sound of silence. 

The 77-acre property was named after “Redford” Kohlsaaht Johnson, the first owner who purchased the property in 1938. A complete history of the property is available upon request.
