If your dream is live off the land while still having a roof over your head, this listing for an Amish house in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania could be for you.
Situated on an acre of property, the 1,292 square foot, 1.5 storey, 3-bedroom house has hardwood floors, an expansive kitchen, and a full walkout basement with abundant storage space, according to the listing.

It also has a separate 24×32 insulated wood shop and adjacent 24×19 buggy shed, along with a 4-stall horse barn that has a newer metal roof and a wood shed.

What the house doesn’t have are electricity, plumbing or a furnace! The listing does indicate that there is a well on the property and a septic holding tank, but there are no actual bathrooms inside the house.

While it’s not listed in the description, there is a wood-burning stove shown in one of the photos for the listing so you will have some luxuries living here.

The interior rooms are painted in very glossy shades of white, turquoise, baby blue, and green colours. Since the house was built in 1963 it would be worth checking if this is the original, potentially lead-based, paint on the walls.

The good news is that this property is listed for only $99,900 US (about $135,000 CDN). Property taxes are also a reasonable $1,728 US per year. We don’t think you could buy a tract home anywhere in Canada for that price, so this is quite a steal.
The property has also been on the market for 139 days as of this writing, so interested buyers could possibly get an even better deal on it.
