Inside A Tennessee Amish Home With “Unrivaled Views” (18 Photos)

This Tennessee Amish home is said in the description to have “unrivaled views”. And further: “Glorious and amazing views in every direction. Seriously. This is not an over exaggeration.”

That’s a pretty strong claim…”unrivaled” literally means the best of anything of its kind.

So, I doubt that word is technically true. Real estate sales involves some salesy language. But, it does look like it has some quite nice views, catching some mountains – at least in one direction.

The home appears to be situated on or on the side of a hill, which would certainly help it to have nice views.

Just a note – the photos with this listing have a filter or something applied to them, with the colors being a bit distorted as a result. So you’re not seeing things.

Here’s the property description via Zillow:

UNRIVALED VIEWS! Glorious and amazing views in every direction. Seriously. This is not an over exaggeration. This is a working Amish farm currently. The spring water is pump to the home via a natural gas powered pump to a large holding tank in an upstairs room of the home. Then gravity fed to the home.

Beautiful ponds, creeks, wildlife food plots, large hunting stands. The pastures are separated for proper rotation of the livestock. The main barn has a concrete floor. The new hay barn has stalls underneath with concrete floors and large easily accessible hay storage area. This home and land are tucked away from main road with loads of privacy. A 20’x50′ run in is in the main pasture.

This home was built as an Amish home but could easily be modernized. From the huge mud room to the kitchen to the living room on the main level. The wrap around covered porch gives way to enjoy the views rain or shine. The garden area has a large grape arbor, raspberry vines, and blueberry bushes.

This is a dream come true for anyone wanting off grid life, self-sufficiency, preppers, outdoorsman, farmer. The current lighting and appliances are all natural gas powered. Buyer to verify gas and water sources and ensure the utility easements and agreements are recorded at closing of this sale.

In the very back of the property it is wooded leading down to two adjoining creeks with a large food plot and enclosed hunting stand overlooking the food plots.

What an amazing property. The pictures speak for themselves. There is an easement across the front edge of the property that goes to an adjoining 49.34-acre tract. The 49.34-acre tract is also on market and may be purchased.

This is a nice home in what looks like not the most conservative, yet not the most progressive community. The settlement, if you were wondering, is at Deer Lodge in Morgan County, TN.

That’s in the western eastern (sorry, compass glitch 🙂 ) end of the state, which would account for the mountainous views. The community is one of a growing number of Amish locations in the Volunteer State, and home to over 250 Amish people. Let’s have a look inside.

Kitchen

A very pleasant kitchen with a table whose length gives away the family size. This may be a family of a dozen, or even more. Amish families are large.

Another view of the same table. That’s a pretty big calendar.

And the kitchen from the opposite end. This home, you’ll see, has cheerfully painted walls. The built-in gas light fixture is just one indicator this isn’t the most conservative home.

Here’s a simple walk-in pantry. Look at all the lunchboxes on the floor. For school-going children, and/or perhaps family members who work away, like carpenters for instance.

And the entry room while we’re at it. Looks like they’ve got a large freezer in one corner.

Bedrooms

The home is listed as having a whopping nine (!) bedrooms, and they provide photos of a number of them. I can’t remember an Amish home having more than nine bedrooms.

Here is an eight-bedroom Amish home we looked at for comparison. That’s the most I recall covering here, anyway.

They are mostly pleasant and simple, and plainer than bedrooms in a lot of Amish homes, which seem to have increasingly more decor items, at least in some places.

And here’s one more:

Oddly, this listing doesn’t include any photos of the living room space, one of the most important and well-used spaces in a typical Amish home.

There is a photo of the one bathroom, which I would say is pretty spartan.

It is an actual bathroom though, and not an outhouse like the plainest Amish use.

Basement

A quick look in the basement, another space that Amish families make good use of.

Those uses include a space for doing wash, holding church, recreation, processing food, canning, and storing canned goods, as we see here:

Back outside

Back outside for a look around, here’s another of the views, this one with a pond:

Here’s another view of the home and it’s long entry walkway.

And a very pretty shot of the home at sunset.

So what are they asking for this property? The home, by the way, is 3,264 square feet in size – and it sits on a pretty big parcel of land, at 45 acres.

It’s on the market now listed at $645,000, so it’s one of the more expensive Amish properties we’ve looked at. But I think that reflects the large piece of land in some significant part.

A non-Amish buyer would need to do some work to transition it to a non-Amish, electrified standard, but not as much as with the plainest of Amish homes.

All in all, looks like quite a nice place for the right buyer. The property is listed by Mathew Bowman of Harold Long Realty.
