2 to 25 acres with a home, barn, and room for livestock, gardens, or a few horses.
Enough land to raise a family, keep a few animals, and grow what you eat without taking on a full operation.
Farmettes are the most-searched small-farm category in Pennsylvania.
Most farmettes are within 15 minutes of a town or small city — rural feel without total isolation.
A farmette is a small farm, typically 2 to 25 acres, with a residence and basic outbuildings — usually a barn or shed — suitable for keeping a few livestock animals, gardens, or hobby production. Farmettes appeal to families wanting rural living without the demands of a full working farm.
Pennsylvania farmettes typically run $350,000 to $900,000 depending on size, condition of the home and barn, location, and county. Properties in higher-demand counties like Lancaster, Chester, and Bucks can exceed $1.5M for premium small farms.
Usually yes, but check township zoning first. Most rural and agricultural-zoned townships allow chickens, horses, goats, sheep, and cattle on properties with sufficient acreage. Some suburban-influenced townships restrict animal types or require minimum acreage per animal.
