An “Abandoned” Amish Farmhouse (17 Photos)

An “Abandoned” Amish Farmhouse (17 Photos)

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…

Look Inside This Southern Ohio Amish Home (30 Photos)

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…

A $99,999 Amish Home For Sale (23 Photos)

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…

Inside A Former English Amish Home (25 Photos)

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…

Inside A $575,000 Amish Home (26 Photos)

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…

Inside A Plain & Pleasant Michigan Amish Home (29 Photos)

Really nice photos in this Amish home listing. This one is located in Gladwin County, Michigan, and actually just sold. Reader Seth Elmore who sends this in notes that this community is similar to Kenton, Ohio, which would make it one of the more conservative. This happened to be his uncle’s home (Seth has Amish roots). The description via realtor.com: Like New-built in 2018, beautiful…

An Amish Shop-Home-Farmette For Sale (12 Photos)

An Amish Shop-Home-Farmette For Sale (12 Photos)

This might be the most “shop”-looking Amish shop home I’ve seen in quite some time. The location is Mahnomen County in Minnesota, way up in the northern end of the state. According to Wikipedia, this is the only county in the state lying entirely within an Indian reservation (White Earth Indian Reservation). There is a small Amish community – one church district – in the…

“Hot water is wood fire”: Plain 5-Bedroom Amish Home For Sale (10 Photos)

“Hot water is wood fire”: Plain 5-Bedroom Amish Home For Sale (10 Photos)

Though this home has a Pennsylvania address, I would hazard to guess it is actually part of the community in Ashtabula County, Ohio, lying in the vicinity of Conneaut and Pierpont. The address happens to be a mere stone’s throw from the Ohio border. Here’s the Zillow description from which I got the title of this post: Large Amish built home with huge front porch!…

27 Photos of an English Amish Home (…English, Indiana)

27 Photos of an English Amish Home (…English, Indiana)

So yes, I couldn’t resist calling this week’s home an “English Amish” home. Not because it has some English (ie, non-Amish) origins, but because it’s located in the tiny Amish community at English, Indiana (Crawford County). Though I’ve never made the trip to visit, this settlement has been on my radar, so to speak, for awhile. The community was founded in 2008 but has not…

A New Wilmington, PA Amish Home For Sale (12 Photos)

This latest Amish home for sale has a very simple listing. This is the New Wilmington, Pennsylvania Amish community, and the listing description at Zillow is just two lines long: Amish farm with 2 greenhouses and 1312 SF barn, 3 hydrants. No plumbing, electric, or sewer! The New Wilmington community is on the plainer side of things, as the no plumbing/sewer detail suggests. We previously…
