My name is Erik Wesner and I'm not Amish. Back in 2004, I met the Amish while selling books. Since then, I've visited 5,000+ Amish homes & dozens of Amish communities. My book on Amish business, Success Made Simple: An Inside Look at Why Amish Businesses Thrive, was published in 2010. I run the Amish America website: amishamerica.com/

My buddy lived in Lancaster Pa and during a weekend stay he took us for a tour of an Amish community. None of the houses had electrical or telephone wires in the house or screens. One house very close to the road we were in had a couple of pies cooling off on window still but loaded with flies. Never purchased Amish food after that.
I drove a school bus for a handicap program. I picked up Amish in Middlefield, Ohio. I got to know some of these families quite well. One of the adult Amish I was driving into the school/workshop passed away. My bus aide and I were invited in to see her body with the parents. We were honored to be invited. I've never seen a buggy before that was equipted to carry a casket. My heart sunk as we passed this on the road the next day. Thank you for making these videos and clearing many myths up about the Amish people. Once you get to know them, they are some of the nicest people around.
Thank you for sharing this
Don’t they homeschool there kids. I homeschool mine.
@@ravenbrown74 they usually have their own school houses. But on rare occasions some go to public schools.
@@ravenbrown74 schools/programs for the handicapped usually offer specialist services like physical and occupational therapy.
@@kimfleury my one Amish neighbor's youngest daughter has Downs syndrome and I know she gets picked up for an occupational therapy program. She's 18 or 19.
What's a hoom?
Jokes aside, it's nice to see how humble they live. A fulfilling house doesn't need many things, just good people!
I'm sorry but that cracked me up.🤣
a hoam is a house that was built of foam
I was hearing Ahmischomme!
Hewms. 😁
Running water at the kitchen sink but no bathroom, just an old outhouse! THAT is a surprise.
The "plastic-rubber " material on the tables is oilcloth. One upon a time it was more widely used. I remember rural relatives used it to cover kitchen and dining tables.
Oh! I've owned a few.
Yep, that's the word my brain was searching for 😅 guess you can tell I'm not an interior decor person nor too useful in the kitchen
I still do use oil cloth on my kitchen table. I bought it last time we were back among our Mennonite relatives.
I grew up in 50’s farming area Kansas and oilcloth tablecloths were the norm in every farm house. Bought by length in store where fabrics were sold.
I still have one on my table.
My dad grew up in Millersburg, Ohio, in Holmes County. His family had moved there pre-Civil War, and my great-grandfather was the town pharmacist and spoke Pennsylvania Dutch with his customers, about half of which were Amish. In the 1950s, my dad delivered prescriptions via bicycle and also dispensed medications (which certainly wouldn't be allowed now!). I grew up with a fascination with the Amish, and we visited Millersburg in 1977 when I was in fifth grade. Little House on the Prairie was among the most popular TV shows then, and I returned to Southern California with my sunbonnet just like Laura's and Mary's. In college, I wrote a research paper for my linguistics class on the Pennsylvania Dutch language. Thanks for this tour of an Amish home!! :D
Very cool!
One tradition some Amish follow is cleaning their home thoroughly top to bottom before and after hosting their fellow parishioners for church some weeks in a row before they all then have services in the next home in the district, in cycles. Some use their large basements for the meetings. Their houses are typically neat, uncluttered and very very clean. Homey and welcoming as well.
Delightful to see a home without a giant flat screen TV and electronics everywhere....and I live in Marin County, CA!
Yeah, I've seen Zillow listings were people have a TV in every room plus one on the deck/patio and in the garage.
I love these homes. They are so simple, neat, stress free, clean. We have too much clutter in our home and it definitely is not as organized. I just love the simplicity of it. I can see myself living in a home like this. Also, these homes seem very similar to the home of a homesteader, who values simplicity, living off the land, canning, providing for their families without any kind of help or working a job, making their own home and furniture, etc.
Id love to live there no sweat I’d have real power/electricity and wifi and a tv though please 😂🥺
If you have clutter in you home you can always have yard sale in Florida they have yard sale garage sale every weekend

The Amish are the original homesteaders!
@@ah5721 No, they are not.
I noticed the handicapped access ramp. This is a very nice house and the price alone is reasonable for the acreage. I wish I were half as good a housekeeper.
My husband and I inherited some of his grandmother's Amish-made furniture, and it is sturdy stuff! I hope to have it all my life. A wonderful reminder of her legacy of quiet, tidy and quality homemaking wisdom.
These homes are lovely.
I'm sure that you Erik notice the lack of a background buzzing or humming that the Amish homes have ..even in a regular English home with all the TV's and radios with everything off in the house there is still some different noise that the Amish homes don't have..they always seem so quiet and peaceful.. other than children and critters etc..lol
Absolutely but as you note there are other sources of noise! 😅
The ticking of the clocks would be really noticeable during quiet times.
@@drazicmilosovic1065 yes sir.. that's all you can hear.. sounds very loud..lol
I can relate to the different sounds… (I some how after a 12 day tent camping experience over 20 years ago) still don’t turn in a tv or play music just to add sound in my house. It’s so very calming. Tonight all I hear is the fish tank and the frogs and locusts outside:)
@@craftykhandee love the quiet sounds..lol..✌️
My grandmother is German/Pennsylvania Dutch from eastern PA. She’s not Amish but I noticed many of the same decor items/influences in her home like in the Amish home. Lots of quilts, wooden furniture, simple decor on the wall, etc. Something about the simplicity and minimalistic nature of these homes is very appealing. 😊

I bet they were Moravians. They were another group the came from Germany. That what I found in our family genealogy.
My Georgia family lived a lot like them but not really Amish.
The word should be deutch- or low German. Dutch or Nederlandish is the language of the people of the Netherlands. They are Reformed or Presbyterian and their ancestors were not the ancestors of the Amish.The Amish came from Germany and Switzerland , and spoke Low German. German , Austrian, and Swiss people speak several German dialects .The children learn High German at school and so do the Amish children. Low German, similar to the Amish German is still spoken in North west Germany , but is dying out. I learned it from my grandfather, who died in 1944 I then learned High German at School The best German is spoken in Hannover.
@@sheilanixon913 : Vielleicht haben Sie vergessen, wie das Wort “Deutsch” geschrieben wird? Ja, es gibt viele Dialekte des Deutschen. Sie würden innerhalb Deutschlands viele Meinungsverschiedenheiten über Ihre Aussage darüber finden, wo das beste Deutsch gesprochen wird!!
Love all of your videos!!
Thank you!!
We get our wood every year from a very nice Amish couple not far from where we live, and when our truck broke down while getting a load, the wife was nice enough to give my husband a ride in the their buggy all the way home to retrieve my truck!
Great people!! ❤️❤️
The no electricity thing is a deal breaker for me. I wouldn't want to tear the walls up.
These are so homely. Just add some electricity and modern plumbing and I'm sold.
In Ashtabula County, Ohio, some of our Amish, when building a new house include plumbing and wiring in order to get building permits and pass inspections. They are left unconnected. Makes it even easier to sell to English. Some of the Geauga County Amish( Middlefield) have running water and fully functional bathrooms.
I live a half hour from a decent sized Mennonite community. They have an Amish Heritage Center that hosts events, and they have a house on the property that people can tour. One of the most fascinating features to me was the removable wall panels in the downstairs. They could remove a panel and turn it into a great room to host people. The homes to me in general just have so much personality as well as practicality. They are designed for family and community which I think so many people desperately long for these days.
Built to last !
My one set of Amish neighbors remodeled an older "English " farmhouse for themselves. The land connects to a brother's farm which is convenient. This house already had an annex to it so his parents moved into there with the youngest sister.
I noticed a motorboat covered up
Erik: I first visited Lancaster with a friend on a bus tour in 1972! I was very young, but, I've never forgotten that experience..thought I must've died and gone to heaven. The smell of the homemade candles, the food, the simple homes and beautiful scenery; I'd never seen anything like it. I've gone back to visit many times over the years, and, my dream would be to pick up and move there for the balance of my life. I just discovered your channel recently and am enjoying it so much. Many thanks from a lover of all things Amish! 🤗

Amish life is extremely labor intensive so a modern person might not like that aspect. No electricity for one. No modern bathrooms for many; chamberpots under the bed that need to be dumped come morning. No dishwashers, no washer/dryer, no music, not even classical; no car, no weather forecasts, canning in the heat of the summer, garden planted, weeded all summer, then canning/drying the food. Sewing all your clothes and quilts (those I can do, but so few women sew nowadays!). It would be very hard for non-Amish to adjust to. Simplicity is one thing, but never reading quality books, going to a movie, sending an e-mail, making a phone call, having to hitch up horse and buggy in all weathers, just to get groceries, kids getting a lousy education -- it is an extremely restrictive life. I am PA German but not plain. My grandparents spoke PA German fluently and my Mom could understand quite a bit and speak it too. My generation went to college and moved to different areas of the country. We still like our PA German foods, customs, and stuff, but that restrictive lifestyle is not for everyone. Perhaps there are Amish families that take in boarders, so you could try it and see what it is like for real. That might be interesting!
They keep them very clean, that's what I admire, clutter free and polished.
The furniture that displays China and chest of drawers in these houses is always stunning! The open floor plan is so smart.
When I saw the interior pics, I thought, "Where's the clutter"? 😂
The typical American would have a home like this stuffed to the rafters with unnecessary crap from Walmart. We have a lot to learn from the Amish. Their style of living is very utilitarian. Everything has a purpose.
Great observation, the neatness and orderliness here - and in other listings - is really appealing. I've certainly been in more chaotic and disorderly Amish homes too though (especially with a lot of young children). This family likely cleaned up and got their ducks in a row for this photo shoot, though overall I'd say Amish homes tend to be kept pretty neat
I was actually thinking it was cluttered lol but I clutter always bothers me
The clutter ends up in the shop and barn. They still have a ton of "stuff" it's just not allowed in the home.
it actually looks very similar to the interior of my home except we live in a 600 sq ft home with 1 bedroom with power & a bathroom. But otherwise very similar....
I love everything Amish, they have this graceful elegance about them
BEAUTY AND MAGNIFIQUE HOME FOR ME AND MY FAMILY THANK YOU FOR SHARING BLESSING IN FUTURES WORKS SALUTED FROM PUERTO CORTES HONDURAS
The first thing an Amish family will think about in the design of their home is to accommodate the church service. That's the main reason for the large open concept of the main rooms. They also need to have a separate room since the men go into one and the ladies go into the other four church.
I'm from Kentucky and enjoy being around Amish people they are so pure and open
I love the smaller cozy one.
That basement looks better than mine!
Beautiful homes. Yes more videos of homes if possible and thank you to those family's. God bless you all.
I love it . price is doable. Yep it's for me. Show more .
I like how large the rooms are! They have a lot of space there. The whole property is quite beautiful.
My family has Pennsylvania Dutch (Amish) lineage. I love their decor and all the wood. Mom and I are fixing up our 1920s Dutch Colonial here in Maine.
I’d love to live there and please do more of these
Amish homes are minimalist yet efficient, which I like. Also, I love all the beautiful wood furniture. The wash rooms are very nice. My favored way to do laundry is on a wringer washer.
WRINGER WASHER. NEEDS ELECTRICITY. WASUP??????
Love the openness buy one of those bedrooms would become a bathroom FAST !!
I am shocked at the price of that property! For that price where I live, you MIGHT be able to find a tiny home, on a postage stamp size property, that is a "fixer-upper". Wonderful opportunity for the right buyer who wants to do major renovations! Just found your channel, and I love it! ❤
Happy you're here!
I nearly fell off my chair at the price! Something like that in Australia would be over a million. The only thing ld do is have bathroom facilities in the house, other than that l love it, even the washing machine!
Same!
Remember no closets or bathrooms.
No plumbing or electrical problems here. Cause there isn't any. Therefore the prices usually are much lower.
I lived in a TN Amish community. We were surrounded by Amish homes. It was a great experience
For some reason, the dream catcher really threw me for a loop. I would've never thought the Amish would be "into" those. Also, I thought it would be 2 million easy, on the price, especially when I heard the acreage. This was a lovely property, very well tended & that land is gorgeous.
I love it.
I didn't know there were so many items inside an Amish home. I always thought they lived so minimally that there'd only be a couple of items in each room. They even had items made of plastic like containers, an office chair, toys and heart-shaped balloons. This was a very nice and informative video. This has peaked my interest.
These are probably less conservative Amish families
Maybe mennonite
Wacko
That is not an Amish home like any Amish I know. Looks more mennonite
@@loralandis852: Do you realize there are more than 40 different affiliations of Amish, and that each local congregation sets their own rules for what is acceptable? You may only be familiar with extremely conservative Amish, but Amish exist along a very diverse continuum!
As always a fantastic video. 99.9% of people have no clue how little you really need to lead a happy life!
lol I don't know. I grew up using an outhouse in the snow... and using those wringer washers... and am very thankful I no longer have to do so 😁😁
So true
Amen
Uh...electricity and plumbing are a minimum requirement for comfort, sorry
whether you have a lot of stuff or not, you can still be unhappy lol
I really loved this home just so clean and spacious. ❤
I Love Amish Homes . Something Soothing about them . PLUS...
I Love the WIDE Doors . 🤠🖖
I noticed the boat with motor. Didn’t know they used a boat with motor. I really like the grandparents home.
Yes, would love to see more of these!! Honestly, I was surprised at the low price. That's a lot of land and a lot of living space for that amount of money. I live on the Cumberland Plateau of TN and would expect a place like that to be perhaps double what you mention. Then again, property prices are all over the place right now.
I was also surprised at the price. I live in NJ and the land alone would cost at least that much, let alone 2 homes and a couple of outbuildings.
Bigfoot ! 🙉🖖
Considering it has no bathrooms or electricity once said and done not cheap.
Yes, I am in Florida and was also surprised at the price. In my area even the smallest homes in the worst neighborhoods are going for over 300,000. i’m sure the buyers will have to invest in rigging up the house for electricity and bathrooms, but it overall still seems like a fantastic price for so much land and square footage.
@@dircia7754 and no central air either.
Beautiful homestead!
I've been inside an Amish home. Very tidy, organized, simple. The sound of a ticking clock and a woman sewing to pass the time was so pleasant for the soul.
Kind of put me in mind of how my grandparents lived in their early married years
Hi how are you doing?
Fine
@@mrsvickigriffin Ok, it’s nice meeting with you here. Where are you texting from?
I really enjoy the Amish home videos and I like how you talk about their traditions and life styles.
Beautiful homes! I thought it would be listed for more!
I loved watching this video. Thanks.
Really enjoyed this video and homes for sale videos are my favorites!! I love getting a peek inside!
This was wonderful! Please show more Amish homes. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was very interesting, lovely homes and beautiful property. Hopefully it will sell to someone within the Amish community. Thanks Erik 👍👍🙏
Yes it needs to stay in the community.
What an amazing price! A homesteader's dream.
I'm a bit surprised by the wheelchair ramp. It looks quite steep. I believe the recommended slope is about 1 inch high for every foot in length. But then, I suspect there would have been plenty of able bodied help available to assist anyone in a wheelchair up the ramp!
Very, very nice!!!
Excellent video..great overall coverage of Amish homes.. because I live in where there is a large enough Amish community I have a house full of the handmade Amish furniture that I have been buying from the local Amish furniture store over the last several years I've been purchasing the furniture and filling my place up in preparation for my retirement soon I'll have all i need ..it is all the very best top quality you could possibly imagine and honestly dirt cheap..all of Thier household furnishings etc are all ment to last several lifetimes ..most all of the Amish that come into my work all have at least one English neighbor that'll help them pertaining to internet use..great video.. thank you for sharing ✌️🙏🏻
U bet show more homes 🏡
Those blue colors are beautiful
Love the channel
I'm quite surprised at all the decorations and toys in the kids rooms, I had thought decorations are a no-go for amish and toys would only be handmade toys. The house itself looks extremely lovely to me, homey. I wish I could get myself to live like this.
I've seen Amish at Hobby Lobby buying stuff for their home
My step dad used to make hand carved toys, he had a wood shop in the basement!
I suspect this is a reflection of modern Amish with children born after 2000, rather than old order.
Some of the groups are far more relaxed about the rules with the kids, because their not church members yet.
Where are you from that you pronounce homes that way?
I love the very neat simplicity of these homes. I'd like to own one.
I love how you say home 🏡 😌 I'm from England 🇬🇧 😀
The way he says “home”
Hoomes ❤
Yes, I enjoyed this video very much! Your commentary, particularly when you pointed out the little tidbits that don't stand out at first or that aren't usual in English houses. Thank you for sharing!
Glad to hear Denise! I enjoyed making it and there are some other homes that might be neat to share👍

As a Kentuckian, I absolutely noticed the Ale8 carton in the basement.
I am PA German (not plain) and this home reminded me a lot of my grandparents' home in PA. The local insurance company calendar was standard, a large breakfront holding at least 12 place settings of stoneware for big family dinners, our women all had LOTS of canned goods shelved in the basement -- that they had canned themselves to carry a family through the winter. Of course, grandparents' house had the front room or parlor with a 1950s modern sofa and older rush seat comfortable wooden chairs -- no soft easy chairs. And a 1960s cabinet TV in the corner. They had dark green window shades and no curtains or drapes, so quite plain. My grandparents got up prior to sunrise and bedded down about 8 PM so they didn't do a ton of reading or watching TV past sundown. These Amish houses have no carpets because they have to be able to sweep the floors without vacuums, in contrast to my grandparents' front and middle rooms which had carpets, one wall to wall, the other an older Victorian carpet. The Amish houses have no furniture groupings, squishy sofas, no end tables with electrical lamps for reading, few if any books, no phones, radios, TVs, electric clocks or computers to connect family with their neighbors or the greater world. You wonder how much education the children get -- not much about the outside world, lots of religious training and memorization of old German texts, ending school at age 13. There were a few thin books beside one of the child's beds but that is it. Very old plain furniture and it is ALL placed up against the wall so there is a huge area of floor that has nothing on it. Not conducive to conversation. The Amish furniture is decades old and NOT antique quality. But yes, many quilts -- every wife knew how to make quilts and the mother and girls' dresses. We ALL had mother's and grandmother's handmade exquisite quilts for our beds and they got a lot of use in winter. I still have many of them. By seeing the wash room/mud room and kitchen with no dishwasher, you can tell an Amish wife's life is extremely labor intensive as is the farmer's work putting hay into a hay wagon by hand. Kids are taught chores VERY early and do a LOT of work compared to modern kids. I wish we could see the bathrooms or where they wash themselves. Do they do that in the kitchen near the stove so water heated on the stove can be poured into a tub? Outhouses can be arctic in winter so they probably have chamber pots under their beds which they have to dump in the AM. That kind of life is do-able for an outsider but extremely restrictive. I would not want to be Amish -- no connection with the outside world is not living life to the fullest in my opinion. At least if you live in the modern world you can let in what you want in your home and disregard the rest. With the Amish it is AUTOMATIC restriction and NO rebellion or you get kicked out of the church and your family members shun you FOREVER. This creates so much shame, family division, and hard hearts. What the bishops (all men, of course) say, goes. Period. It is sad. They exert extreme control over the families in their particular jurisdiction. I lived seeing Amish every day growing up and we had a Mennonite girl in my class in school. She wore the white prayer cap and braids. She was a nice girl but rather shy and quiet. Amish life is not like women read about in those Amish romance novels. It is hard work and I don't even know if Amish women use birth control, so they are absolutely tied down to home with tons of kids underfoot.
(Very informative) It is like living 19th century in present century. Such a way of life is a very romantic picture for an outsider. I guess for them it is ok as well, but I, still, do pity them for their hard work and no use of amenities. Off grid should be only by choice, not by birth 😁

Please show more homes I really enjoy looking at them
I love tours of Amish homes - such a treat.
Wow! I have fly strips during the summer, oil lamps, china displays and an open coat/hat rack in my home for all my boys coats and their baseball caps!! A clothesline outside! We also have a few antlers and even a few dream catchers!! Wish mine looked as nice, however!! This is beautiful!! Love the big, huge kitchen! For spending as much time as I do in mine, and for a family of 9, I wouldn't mind it if mine were that big!!!
I love how they respect their origin,traditions,culture and nature.
Thanks for the tour! :) Nice easy on the eye interiors; they have a slight "Shaker" simplicity about them. There's a quote, "Cleanliness is next Godliness." Maybe this is partly why the Amish live this way? A home cluttered with lots of stuff is much harder to clean & organize. Especially when many kids & often outdoor-working parents are walking in & out all day long. Simple open rooms are just easier to dust, sweep & mop. (That's a great price for the two homes & all the acreage - wow. And you know they've been well cared for.)
This was something I haven't thought to do (use Zillow to explore homes in this way). Beautiful home with more color than I expected. Thanks for the video!
I love this. I am going to search for more of yours.
As a Horseman, I'd be most interested in seeing the stables with the stalls. I noticed they had two outdoor riding areas, and a third if you count the paddock outside the buggy storage barn. If I was a buyer that house's price is incredible. I'd buy it in a heartbeat just for the horse property aspect alone (and the houses are very nice, too!). Even though non Amish people are going to want to put in a washroom and electricity no doubt (I know I would). Still a heckuva price. I hope the property finds a great owner. :)
Beautiful home and incredibly low price! And yes, I'd love to see more!!!
The 28 acres alone would run quite a bit in the midwest, let alone that huge house. My modest home is around 1000 sq ft and is worth just over 100k
Uh, "low" price comes with no electricity and no plumbing. Not so low anymore.
I always thought they were plain.. these homes are beautiful
That’s how I met one time my dear old friend, Dwight.
Where I am in SE Ohio we would call these new Amish they have alot more creature comforts and personal items than the "old" Amish would have. Also all the bright colors really stood out to me as new Amish.
I've been invited into many of the Swiss Amish homes in South Whitley and Ft. Wayne IN. One thing that sticks out is they keep their decorations from their weddings and display it on their walls. The women use a lot of pink floral decorations and beads. Usually they also get a clock or decoration that lights up (by battery I'd assume). Their basements are concrete with polished plywood ceilings and are where Christmas parties are held. Other than that the houses are the same as the video.
Very interesting I spent a couple weeks among the Amish at Fort Wayne and visited South Whitley for a little while. This was back in 2006 but you could see an economic difference between them
@@AmishAmerica oh definitely. The church in South Whitley is much more conservative than the Ft. Wayne one.
I liked in the one boys room, they have a wall hanging of a hot rod car. ❤️❤️❤️
Also thank you for these videos, very informative.
What looks like crock pots by the shelf with coffee mugs and the calendar? I’ve also always noticed that the men can use modern conveniences for their work like electricity and phones, but the women are forced to stay primitive in how they cook and clean even though they work much longer, harder hours raising a brood of kids, feeding all the adult men as well as their children, and doing all the laundry with 19th/early 20th century equipment. Plus canning and preserving all their crops. Don’t forget that they make their own bread and everything from scratch. It’s a lot of work on top of caring for their kids.
Yes and no. You’re right about the men, but I live in a community with a large Amish population and we see them in our local Walmart all the time with carts loaded with bread, snacks of every kind, chips, etc. soft drinks, and every kind of unhealthy junk food. It’s mind boggling. Not all Amish women bake their own bread and can all their own produce.
In most of the Amish homes I have been inside of in Lancaster County, the lighting is battery-powered LED lighting. There are always candles sitting around, but usually not lit. I was in one home that was lit completely by propane mantles. The piping for the propane was exposed and painted.
That's the kind I usually use over at the R's 😉
Yes please do more.
Thank you. I was totally amazed at the colorful bedrooms…😮
Love all of your content !!!!!!
Thank you!
Wow, great price for all that, lovely looking property.
I love the videos of the Amish homes and lifestyle. keep up the good work.
Beautiful homes and property. I’d love to live there just the way it is. I love how they decorate their homes 🏡
What a great deal! Beautiful houses.
I love the daughty house. Just the right size for grandparents. Blessings to all ❤
I raised 2 kids in a 1000 square foot house. Downsized from 1700 sqft.. it could be a little too cozy at times but we enjoyed being close and the kids were more motivated to play outside.
I've been interested in the Amish for a number of years, I love their quilts.
