Amish Homes

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 a proper home on the property. In the photos below…

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 and profitable Amish produce farm. The owners have sold nearly…

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 this is a fairly new listing, having just gone up…

This farmhouse has a cheerful appeal with a bright red roof and a cozy setting in a hilly area of Wisconsin. The area is Blair in Trempeleau County, a place where Amish have lived for over 60 years. You’ll see by the photos it’s a beautiful farm and the home feels warm and welcoming. This farm is currently up for sale and might be the…

The location is Falconer, New York (Chautauqua County) and the listing has some beautiful snowy exterior shots as well as some nice interior shots showing a plain but pleasant Amish farm home. This home, built in 1910, was originally English and had relatively recent English owners, as seen most obviously by the electric switches and outlets throughout. The style of the place including the wallpaper,…

You should be able to tell right off why I titled this “abandoned” – though not technically the case (it’s up for sale, after all), with the overgrown yard, vacated rooms, and grey sky adding a bleak touch to these photos, it certainly has the feel of an abandoned home. Unlike most homes we look at, this one is emptied out, with just a few…

I happened to visit this smallish Ohio community a couple of weeks ago. So it was neat to happen across a home for sale in this settlement just a few days later. The settlement at Oak Hill in Jackson County has grown to four church districts in size in the 20 years since its founding. I met several friendly Amish people there, including one from…

St. Lawrence County, NY hosts a half-dozen separate Amish communities, and this week’s Amish home comes from one of them. This is in the vicinity of the town of Norfolk. Several things about this home caught my eye, including the catchy price tag. One thing a bit unusual about this listing is that you can see what I have to assume is the owner in…

We go to Michigan for this week’s Amish home and you can immediately see that this one has had a previous life as an English home. That’s evident by the light switches, bare electrical connections where light fixtures would be, and overall design of the place. You can even tell just by looking at the exterior that this home was not originally built for an…

Last week we saw an Amish home in the Gladwin, Michigan community shared by reader Seth, whose uncle had just sold the property. This week we have another home in the same community. This one is on 40 acres of property and has a price tag of $575,000, no doubt reflecting both the substantial acreage and the quality of the home. It’s described as a…
