Farmhouses evoke nostalgic memories – real or imagined – of a simpler life and a deep, nourishing connection to the seasons and the land.  While most of us don’t live that way anymore, we all share a longing for the values that this classic American house form represents.

So what makes a true American farmhouse? A farmhouse is intimately connected to the land and all its seasons, dominates a community of buildings, and is built to last using natural, indigenous materials.  These are the core qualities of the farmhouse style, whether old or new.

This remarkable collection of 20 new and remodeled farmhouses celebrates the best American farmhouses built in the past 5 years.  Over 300 photographs beautifully illustrate these homes, and the accompanying site and floor plans, historical sidebars, and up-close details add depth to this rich collection.

With this book, America’s quintessential house style is reinvented for the 21^st-century family.

If a bookstore purchased too many copies of a title or needs to make room for new material, they have the right to return the book(s) to the publisher for credit. These are new, unread books, in excellent structural condition.  The publisher may place a mark on the edge of the book to identify it as a returned book. This ensures the book will never again be returned to the publisher for more credit. In most cases the mark is a small line or dot, which, if applicable, is clearly noted as a “remainder mark” in the above Item Condition.
