Amish Homes

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…

I suppose the trendy word for this type of home is “barndominium”, but the listing simply describes it as a pole barn with living quarters, and that’s what I’ll go with too. This property address is in Remus, Michigan (Mecosta County). The county has a pair of Amish settlements (though this may actually be a part of a nearby community in the neighboring county). It’s…

This Tennessee Amish home is said in the description to have “unrivaled views”. And further: “Glorious and amazing views in every direction. Seriously. This is not an over exaggeration.” That’s a pretty strong claim…”unrivaled” literally means the best of anything of its kind. So, I doubt that word is technically true. Real estate sales involves some salesy language. But, it does look like it has…

Wonderful photos from another Minnesota Amish home. There have been quite a few of these lately, all in the state’s largest Amish settlement in the Harmony/Canton area of Fillmore County, MN. As you can see from the aerial photos, this property has a neat and “cozy” layout on an 18-acre lot. And the home itself, owned by a family in a quite plain Swartzentruber Amish…

While the exterior is on the plain side (it’s a plainer community), and a bit unfinished…the interior of this Pennsylvania Amish home is simply picture-perfect. The community is New Wilmington, PA, where we’ve gone for several previous looks at Amish homes. You’ll see as we look inside the home lots of the characteristic shades of blue common to this community. The settlement is also known…

This charming little place is yet another home in Fillmore County, Minnesota. The county has three separate Amish communities; the best-known and biggest is the Harmony settlement, a Swartzentruber Amish settlement. This home, with a Mabel, MN address, appears to belong to that settlement. Unlike the three previous traditional farm homes from this settlement we’ve looked at, this is a smaller place, with just two…

Let’s check out another Amish home in the Harmony, Minnesota community. I’ll note that this is at least the third Amish home I’ve come across up for sale online in this conservative Swartzentruber Amish community. Others included this picture-perfect farm home (and dawdihaus), and this “simple & cozy” home. This one is described as a “Hobby Farm” in the listing, so that’s what I’m going…

This is a neat, quite new property – tucked away in a corner of Amish Virginia. I’m calling it a “Mini-barndominium” because it’s described as a barndominium – but it’s just a one bedroom, one-bathroom home. Compared to the much larger Kentucky Amish barndominium home we saw recently, you can notice the difference. But that one was for a much larger family, and this is…
