Inside a Cozy Amish Modular Home (15 Photos)

Now for something a bit different – an Amish-owned modular home.

It’s not the first modular or mobile home we’ve featured (by my count, it’s the third), but I’d say it’s the coziest – hence the title. This one comes to us from Princeton, Missouri (Mercer County), home to a pair of Amish communities – one a good-sized one of over 600 people.

Sometimes people are surprised to see that some Amish families live in modular or mobile homes, but they shouldn’t be. Not all Amish families live in the typical multi-bedroom two-story farmhouses with basement.

A mobile or modular home can be a good solution for a young family, a single Amish person – or in this case – what appears to be a “full-sized” Amish family (or something close to it).

I base that assumption on the fact that the home has five bedrooms, and in one photo we even see a collection of five horse-drawn vehicles parked in a shelter – so it’s not a starter home 🙂

The description via Zillow:

This home on 5 acres is the perfect mini farm. Also on the acreage is a building that housed a variety store and discount grocery that only closed a few months ago.

The home and acreage could be split off to suit a new owners needs. This home is a converted modular home being lived in by the Amish so wiring and electricity will need to be installed by a new owner.

The home is a 5 bedroom home with one bath. An addition was added that is used as a mud room and has the propane hot water heater, a sink to wash up with before you enter the home, and a spicket that can be used to water outside animals or a garden.

As you enter the home through the mudroom, you enter an open living space that includes the kitchen, dining room, and living room.

Additional buildings on the property include a chicken coop, small storage shed, barn where they park buggies and have horses. There is a small pond on the property. The vacant building could be used for ag purposes, remodeled into a 2nd home, or you could open your own business.

It is 3600 sq feet and has an additional building that is a steel building that is 560 sq feet. This unique property will make someone an excellent home.

You can see this home has many of the classic notes of a typical Amish home – just in a modular home shell. Like the kitchen here.

Wood stove, wall calendar, curtains, hooks for hats and coats, church-style bench. The only thing that stands out a bit is the table covering.

The cozy living room. Upholstered furniture – recliners and sofas – so this is not the most conservative group. Cozy.

In another corner of the home, we see classic Amish furniture, a sewing machine, bird wall clock, and the thermometer-barometer-hygrometer common to Amish homes.

And back around to the kitchen. Nice simple cabinetry. It’s a bit unusual because it doesn’t have the roomy, spacious feel of a typical Amish home, but all the other Amish notes are there – including the valances in the windows (hat tip to Stacy and Teresa 🙂 ).

Bedrooms

So the bedrooms are a bit on the cramped (or “cozy”) side, but that reflects the elongated narrow design of the modular home. Perhaps one reason this family is selling is to get into some more spacious digs.

A young man’s room with hunting or target practice bows.

A young lady’s room. Greeting cards displayed on a string on the wall.

Nice traditional quilt here.

And one more.

The one bathroom, with Dewalt battery light for illumination.

And the mudroom mentioned in the description.

Also, here’s a look at the store building that comes with the home. I would imagine this may be where this family holds church service when it’s their turn – or possibly in one of the other buildings (though I’m not seeing one that looks like it’d be large enough).

So what’s the price on this property?
