Amish Homes

Here we have a neat Amish home in west-central Pennsylvania (Luthersburg). There are some really nice photos here – and interesting features to check out in this large-family home. I’m calling this home “plainly” beautiful because it provides a striking visual contrast. As you’ll see below, it has an almost fancy-looking, beautiful space downstairs – and very plain upstairs rooms. This is part of a…

I’m calling this “not your typical” Amish home for a couple of reasons. One is the interior. As you’ll see below, it has its share of typical Amish elements. But you’ll also notice the overall look of the home is quite different from many of the homes we feature. Another thing that makes it “not your typical” Amish home is that it is on a…

I love the photos of this Amish home, on the market in southern Indiana. You’ll see some really neat interior pics below – a mix of plainer rustic charm and spaciousness. These are pretty fresh photos as well going by the snow (it’s only been on Zillow for about three weeks). The community is at Vevay, Indiana (home to two separate Amish groups). The description…

This home is a “cousin” of the “austere” Amish home that we viewed back in December. It’s in the same Michigan community – in fact, on the very same road. Perhaps that means that there is a general out-migration happening here in this settlement. Or, perhaps more likely, given their closeness, these two families are related – and they are simply moving out together. This…

“Austere” was the adjective that struck me on my first look at these photos. We’ve looked at plenty of plainer Amish homes here before. This one definitely belongs in that group. The home is in the area of Reading in Hillsdale County, Michigan. This is the southern bit, the state’s sole county which borders both Ohio and Indiana. The Reading settlement has been around for…

I’m calling this Minnesota Amish home “picture-perfect” because the photographer did a great job, but also because the place is very neat and well-kept. Often the Swartzentruber Amish homes are not that way. Yards are untidy and the homes themselves have a very rough and unfinished appearance. But this place, inside and out, gives the impression of a very clean, cozy, and well-taken-care-of home. The…

I usually post home photos that show a lived-in space. But sometimes it’s interesting to see what an emptied-out Amish home looks like (like this Mississippi Amish home from earlier this year). That’s what we have again here today with these photos from the atypical Amish community at Enon Valley, PA. According to the description, an Amish family is actually still living here. So these…

Some Amish homes we see are spick-and-span clean, staged to look beautiful for their photo shoots. In others, Amish family life is captured in all its messy glory. This home belongs to group #2. Here’s the description of this Wisconsin Amish home: Amish farmette. Trophy white tail and turkey hunting with Grant River across the road. Fences around property line. Natural spring. Land levels off…

I’ve got a very simple and what I’m calling “super basic” Amish home to share with you this week. You’ll see why I gave it that nickname in a minute. The location is one of Tennessee’s 14+ Amish settlements, in the area of Stantonville (McNairy County). This is a Swartzentruber Amish community and it has been around a little while – since 2009. The latest…

This Lancaster County Amish community home is going up for auction in about two weeks. It’s also listed in Zillow with a full array of beautiful photos, so let’s have a look. On the outside at least, this is a more traditional-looking home than the previous Lancaster County Amish home we looked at here. It’s an old brick farmhouse with an addition or two. This…
