It’s refreshing to see that you can get a recently remodeled home with a popular, up-to-the-minute farmhouse style at a very vintage price.

We’re talking prices ranging from an ultralow of $130,000 to just under $500,000. And a newly updated residence doesn’t necessarily mean a new build. Some of these abodes have been around for some time, including one that was built in 1872.

Some say HGTV stars Chip and Joanna Gaines are responsible for the modern farmhouse surge, as their show “Fixer Upper” was among the first to introduce many U.S. homebuyers to the style. But in fact, the “modern farmhouse” has been and remains one of the most popular home styles in the nation. The design is everywhere—you’ll find it in sunny Southern California beach houses as well as in swanky New York apartments.

As for these five modern farmhouses that we’ve picked out, we found them to be both charming and well-priced. Who knows how they might inspire you?

8161 Lakeshore Dr, Dexter, IA

Lovely on the lake: Shiplap? Check. Sliding barn door? Check. Farmhouse sink? Check. Distressed-style beams and gabled roof? Check and check again! Built in 2020, this pristine, modern farmhouse checks all the classic boxes and then some.

The two-bedroom, two-bath, 1,554-square-foot lake house also has luxurious features, including quartz countertops, herringbone subway tile, automatic blackout blinds, high-speed internet, and, perhaps best of all, lake views.

The home is located on Diamondhead Lake, only about 30 minutes from Des Moines, making it a sought-after vacation spot. But with its sturdy concrete walls, spray-foam insulation, and energy efficiency, it’s also the ideal place to live year-round.
