What a wonderful place! Here on the WA coast you could never touch that many acres and a house plus all the outbuildings for such a price! Here you might get a 2 bedroom on an acre for 150,000! What a dream that would be! I printed it off to show my husband later. He will be amazed. Hugs, Mary

That is precisely why I am looking in MO Mary. I was always an oregonian but we can't afford the place we've always wanted in the Pacific NW right now. In Missouri, I have my choice of several properties, (I've looked at many amish and mennonite houses too)the winters aren't anything worse than what I am used to in parts of oregon and after surviving Phoenix heat at it's apex for 4 straight months year after year, a little humidity and high temps for a couple weeks doesn't seem like a bad trade off!

Sadly, my hubby is to "techy" (and to be fair, so am I) for us to live without power. I have to have wiring in the walls although I would be totally on board for solar power.

| What wonderful pictures. They are very calming and peaceful to me. I wish I had a place like that. But I will make do with what I have. I just need to find a way to bring that quite peace into my own home. :) (ok, once my kids leave I can work on that). Thanks for Sharing.... |

Uhm that is a ridiculously low price! When I had the farm up North it was only 12 acres and a house and garage and we paid 150K!! We put up a couple of buildings and the price is currently 142K market value. That's a luscious price if you ask me!!

My husband and I purchased a farm in Stacyville Maine in 2004 from an amish couple this July we sold our home in Mass and now live here in Maine. Since July there have been 6 amish families that have move here in sherman and stacyville from Ohio. The farm next door to us is one of the amish that moved in. We have horse and wagons up and down the street all day. My daughterinlaw was up at thanksgiving and this is the picture she took..jpg) Jill Lillian |

It's a common misconception that Amish are all sequestered into communes or something. They really do just go about their lives in normal neighborhoods, just at a slower pace. They are determined not to let the world run away with them in it's frantic way as it does the english.
