Amish Homes

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…

The community is Salem, Indiana. The two words that first hit me to describe this Amish home are “spacious” and “squeaky clean”. You’ll see what I mean in the photos below. This is also a quite “low” – or, in other words, plain or traditional – Amish home. In this case that means zero bathrooms. The area of Salem has more than one Amish community…

The barndominium is a hot trend right now. And people are noticing that the Amish are doing a version of this – and have been for some time. In fact, we’ve looked at many examples of Amish shop houses here – and even a barn-and-home-in-one. This one, on the market now in Glasgow, Kentucky, is a really nice example which, when you look at it,…

When you take the spartan exterior and simple furnishings of this Michigan Amish home together, “bare bones” certainly fits the bill. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a homey place to live. This is a pure Amish shop home if I ever saw one. From the outside it is very functional looking – unpainted metal siding. Inside there is a plain but (relatively) cozy Amish…
