An Amish Organic Farm & House Just Listed For $1.42 Million — Electricity Not Included (28 Photos)

An Amish organic dairy farm in the perfectly-named New Holstein, Wisconsin just listed for $1,420,000 — and no, as you might expect, electricity is not included.

This is one of the highest-priced Amish properties we’ve covered in this series. We did recently see a $1.5 million Amish farmstead in Kentucky.

Pricewise, this Wisconsin property is in that ballpark, but is a somewhat different kind of operation: a working organic dairy farm on 63 acres.

There’s a caveat on the land and the price: the seller is planning to separate the agricultural acreage from the building site. Once done, the property will come with roughly 8 acres. The remaining 55 or so acres of agricultural land will be sold separately.

It’s unclear if this property’s current price tag reflects the price with the full 63+ acres, as currently listed at Zillow, or if the price will reduce when the acreage is separated.

Either way, it’s a much smaller acreage that the $1.5 million farmstead, which no doubt derived a good chunk of its value from a large 160-acre parcel it came with.

This eastern Wisconsin property went up just four days ago at the time of posting. Here’s the simple listing description:

Incredible opportunity on this organic dairy farm. No electricity hooked up. Currently occupied by an Amish family. Property includes 40×136 dairy barn, 44×116 shop w/office, 30×60 barn, 60×80 utility shed, 2 car detached garage.

Seller will separate the AG land from the buildings — roughly 55 acres AG and building location will have roughly 8 acres. If a buyer would like to purchase the home/building location with more than 8 acres, that is negotiable, please inquire ASAP.

The main house is a two-story farmhouse built in 1900, listed at 2,435 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. That single bathroom – as well as the interior photos we’ll see below – indicate that this is a more progressive community than the previous property as well, which lacked indoor plumbing.

This area of Calumet County is home to a small Amish community – around 100 people – but which has been here a good while, since the early 1990s.

Now let’s have a look inside.

Inside the House

The entry mudroom — concrete floor, a step up to the main house door, coat hooks, and a “Welcome” star on the wall, a sign suggesting this is a home a bit more on the progressive side at least.

The kitchen has dark wood cabinets, a gas range, and a wide window over the sink looking out into the yard. A hummingbird feeder hangs just outside. There’s a peninsula with stools, and enough counter space for some serious cooking. Built-in gas fixture over the peninsula, a more traditional form of lighting.

A closer look at the kitchen from the stove end — you can see the tile backsplash behind the range and the full run of upper cabinets, which give me a “medieval barrel” vibe. Battery light over the sink.

Like in many Amish homes, the dining room opens directly to the kitchen. A large hutch lines one wall, fully stocked with china. The dining table looks well suited to large family meals.

A couple of photos up we noted the gas range; in this shot we see a more old-fashioned form of cooking: a wood-burning cook stove. This one is a proper black cast-iron model – maybe a Pioneer – centrally placed in a spot where heat would more easily spread into other rooms.

The living room has a sunroom-style feel with large windows looking out to the garden. What a vibrant space, enhanced by the colorful seat coverings.

One bathroom in the house, which is not unusual for an Amish home, even one with five or more bedrooms.

One of the five bedrooms. The crib usually gives away that it’s the parents’ room. Dresses hang to the right; “Marvin” on the little cabinet above the bed.

Another angle in the same room. This room has roller blinds, which is not uncommon in Amish homes. It opens up into the bathroom.

Upstairs, another of the bedrooms has a beautiful roll-top desk. Doggie calendar by the window. Ceilings have a lower feel here reflecting the home design.

Another angle of this bedroom shows it has two beds. Looks like a boys’ room. Someone has a nice collection of peacock feathers.

And this one is a girl’s room. Bedrooms, especially those of Amish youth, often showcase pieces of decor and mementos. Note the windchime and curio cabinet. This is a cozy space, especially with that sofa.

The back deck faces the garden. Wicker furniture provides nice spots for sitting with family and enjoying the summer signts and smells.

The garden at this property appears to be pretty extensive, with ample room for both flowers and vegetables. Like most Amish gardens, this one probably generates a fair share of food for canning and enjoying year-round.

As mentioned, this is a working organic dairy farm. The main dairy barn, with two concrete silos.

Cows “at work” go here.

Lot of horses visible in this aerial shot showing some of the other outbuildings. I count at least sixteen. Maybe they deal in horses as well.

Here’s the interior of the red barn in the photo above. Looks like they use this as a gathering space – and possibly a place to hold church services. Amish church services rotate among homes in the community, and are held in workshops, basements, and barn spaces.

And here we have the buggy garage, complete with weathered basketball hoop.

Here we have the shop building complex. The listing describes a 44×116 shop with office. It appears to be a metal fabrication business, not uncommon among the Amish.

One part of the interior. This looks like an employee break space, at least in part.

Inside, the production area.

Here’s the customer-facing bit of the operation.

So there you have it — a pretty substantial Amish farm-business operation, in Calumet County, Wisconsin. Working organic farm, manufacturing business, and add in the horses we saw, and this family has a lot going on. Plus a nice five-bedroom home.

As noted, it’s unclear to me whether the $1,420,000 price reflects the 63+ acreage size, or the eight-acre size. This property is represented by Rich Ryan of Pleasant View Realty, LLC.
