Amish Homes

What are Amish homes like inside? The posts below show the interiors of dozens of Amish homes from around the country. You'll see kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, basements, and other spaces. Notice how some of the homes are plainer than others, reflecting different Amish groups.

We look at different aspects of Amish homes in these posts - lighting, plumbing, bathrooms, decor, furniture, and more. You'll also see some atypical Amish homes here. Most photos are from online sources - real estate listings or auction sites.

This Amish home is in the Crab Orchard, Kentucky community. One with more progressive notes but very cozy inside. Let’s have a look. Living room. Rustic cabin feel. That’s a serious-looking safe. Another thing I notice here is the hickory rocker. It’s something you’ll see in both plain and more materially-progressive homes. The plainer homes […]

Here’s yet another Amish home for sale in the Hillsboro, Kentucky community (see here and here for some previous examples). This one is notable for a couple of reasons – one is that it comes with a second home, a small dawdihaus-type property (smaller home on the property for grandparents). The second is that these […]

This is the first Amish home I’ve seen listed online for sale in Canada. Amish have had a presence in Canada for nearly 200 years, the vast amount of that time only being found in Ontario. In recent years they’ve settled in three other provinces. From what I can tell this home is found in […]

Realtor Amy Burns recently alerted me to this Amish home in the Geauga County community which just sold for $1,050,000. Now as we look inside you’ll see this is probably the most “un-Amish”-looking home we’ve covered here, and I suspect this home is going to surprise some people as being Amish-inhabited given its interior appearance […]

We’ve seen a number of examples of Amish “shop homes”, but I believe this is the first “barn home” I’ve come across online. Here’s the key bit from the listing: “The barn and house were built as one unit, having the three bedroom home on the east side of this large building.” You can see […]

This Amish farm property in Newark Valley, New York has only a handful of interior photos, but caught my attention for several reasons. The first thing was this sign out front: I’ve noted before how the Amish typically do not use the word “Amish” in their marketing. But in a recent video on the subject […]

Two years ago I shared a post on seven Amish homes I’d found for sale online in just one community – Hillsboro, Kentucky. Today we look at another I came across. When I was in this community in December, an Amishman I spoke with made reference to a number of their people moving out and […]

One misconception that I see often enough is the idea that Amish homes don’t have curtains covering their windows. There is an idea out there that curtains signify vanity and thus Amish don’t have them. I can see the kernel of truth this may have emerged from (Amish tend to shy away from things that […]

This is another home for sale in the Perry County (Somerset), Ohio community (same community as last week’s home, hat tip to John). So two things strike me right off about this property. One is that I quite like the layout of this property. It’s a sizeable though not huge piece of land (another “mini-farm” […]

Continue Reading Nine-Acre Amish “Farmette” For Sale (27 Photos)

The listing is calling this one a “mini-farm”, which I’m not sure has a technical definition, but I guess can mean any property of some acreage where you can raise animals, plant crops, etc. This one is attached to a 10-acre plot. Let’s start with the aerial view: The locale is Somerset which is in […]
