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.

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” […]

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 […]

This is a bit different than your standard Amish home. The simple box design and top-to-bottom metal siding is a clue that this is a shop home. Amish families typically build these cheaper structures, intended to be later used as workshops, as starter homes to live in for a time, until they’re able to build […]

Nice photos from an Amish home in St. Lawrence County, New York. These photos were taken sometime in autumn as you can see by the produce and pumpkins visible in some of the photos. The property description. It turns out they know how to grow those pumpkins: Hit the ground running with this well established […]

This is a very neat and cozy Amish home in the Carrollton, Ohio settlement (Carroll County), with a number of fancier touches. It also contains several things that stand out as rather atypical for Amish homes, which you’ll see below. With the snow visible here we can assume the photos are quite recent – and […]
