Amish Homes

This week’s Amish home, in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, is a family home sitting on a 10-acre lot. And true to Amish form, the family is a big one – the house has a whopping eight bedrooms –  but just one bathroom. More on that below. Here’s the full description: Discover the perfect blend of craftsmanship, privacy, and land stewardship with this new custom Amish-built home, thoughtfully…

Today’s Amish home is a “sister” to one we looked at back in November, in the same community in Lucas County, Iowa (Chariton). That one was described as a “Charming Farmstead” in the listing. This is a similarly-charming home. But there is one detail that would make someone scanning through these photos (but not reading the text) raise an eyebrow 🙂 More on that below…

Today’s Amish home is in Middlebury, Indiana (part of the large northern Indiana Amish settlement) and gives us a look at what life in a more materially progressive community looks like. There are a number of classic Amish accents in this home – combined with more modern ones as well. Together it creates the feel of a “classic-modern” Amish home (hat tip to Jim Halverson…

This Amish home lies near the wonderfully-named Summer Shade, Kentucky. There is an Amish community here in Barren County (though the place called Summer Shade technically lies in a neighboring county). These photos show us a pretty traditional Amish home, especially downstairs. Upstairs, we see signs that this is quite a musically-inclined Amish family. The description: What’s special: Amish built farmhouse, large 40 x 80…

This is how this Kansas Amish home’s description opens – and why I couldn’t pass up describing it likewise: “Escape to the wild side and live on your own terms with this rugged 50-acre off-grid farm in central Osage County”. Osage County, KS is a sparsely-populated place, and true to the pitch, the property enjoys abundant wildlife – as shown in a series of accompanying…

Today’s Amish home is found in Scioto County, Ohio. A standout feature of this Amish property is a second home – which, as we’ll see in the photos, has been used as a schoolhouse for the community (more on why below). Scioto County lies in southern Ohio, right on the border with Kentucky. There are actually two separate, but very small Amish communities in this…

Some lovely photos, taken on a crisp autumn day, of an Amish “farmstead” home in Lucas County, Iowa. These look to be fresh photos, as this place has only been listed for a couple of weeks. The county is home to two Amish communities; this one is in the area of Chariton. Some beautiful aerial shots show the property and surrounding landscape. This location is…

This is one of the more interesting Amish properties I’ve come across – both for the home itself and the land it’s on. It’s a large “shop home” style residence, two stories in fact, located in Wadena County, Minnesota. The area is home to a small Amish community, a little over a decade old, and clearly a plainer Amish group. You can see by the…

The community is Deer Lodge, Tennessee (Morgan County). It’s a settlement founded by Amish in 2013, which has since grown to over 250 people in size. We happened to look at another home from this very same community just a few weeks ago (the Amish home with “unrivaled” views). Families will come and go from Amish settlements. If it comes in groups it may mean…

This is the second West Virginia Amish home we’ve looked at this year, after this five-bedroom place on a 50+ acre piece of land. And I expect we’ll be seeing more and more of them for sale in the state as the Amish footprint there, and pool of available homes, continues to grow. Their overall population in the state remains low at around 900, but…
