Beyond Basic: 7 Overlooked Farmhouse Dollhouse Kits That Will Amaze You

The world of DIY dollhouse kits is vast and ever-expanding, offering endless inspiration for builders. Today, we’ll shift our focus to a specific style: farmhouse dollhouse kits. Let’s explore what they have to offer!

But First: Why Would You Buy And Assemble A Farmhouse Dollhouse (kit)?


Good question haha and I will do my best to answer it.

The first things that come to mind are:

  • They are usually larger than other kits like the ones from Robotime, so there is a lot more and longer fun to be had with them before they are finished.
  • With a lot of them, your kids can actually play with them, instead of just admiring them, if sturdy enough.
  • These usually don’t have dollhouse furniture included, so you can decorate the interior to your own preferences.
    Instead of having to “hack” the interior, which is something that not everybody likes to do.


Beware though, that dollhouse furniture for 1:24 scale dollhouse kits can be somewhat harder to find!

Farmhouse Dollhouse kits: 7 reviews.


Before purchasing a more expensive dollhouse kit, I would definitely check out people’s reviews first, so here we go with more into depth reviews and information on each kit, with its pros and cons.

These reviews are a combination of my own experiences and other people’s opinions on several platforms like Facebook groups.

1. Victoria farmhouse dollhouse kit


This dollhouse kit is definitely one of my personal favorites, as its style resembles most of what I consider to be a “farmhouse”.

It looks straightforward, without too many “this and thats” or fragile ornaments. You can just imàgine the animals wondering around this farmhouse 😉

When finished, this dollhouse has side-opening access, movable room dividers, raised panel shutters, and door and stairs.

2. Vermont farmhouse jr dollhouse kit


This dollhouse kit from the same brand as the first one is a little bit smaller than the latter but still has a nice “farmhouse” design.

It has a beautiful front porch and has gable dormer on the roof, which provides you with extra space to store dollhouse furniture in.

This kit contains railings, a front door, hardwood flooring, raised panel shutters, molded railings, porch posts, flower boxes, a staircase, and wooden shingles for the roof.

3. Greenleaf Fairfield Dollhouse Kit


I love Greenleaf! I had one years ago, but sold it because of lack of room back then, but I wish I hadn’t now 🙁

Anyway, the Greenleaf Fairfield kit looks amazing and elegant.

You might not think that this looks like a “farmhouse”, and I could agree on the one hand, but on the other hand when googling “farmhouse dollhouse”, this kit always does show up.

What’s your opinion when you see the picture below?

Brand
Greenleaf
Scale
1: 24 scale, so smaller than the first 2 kits
– has a total of 6 rooms and 2 large hallways
Pro’s
– Has 2 build-in fireplaces
– solid plywood is used
– shingles are included in the kit
– beautiful design
Contra’s
– the instructions aren’t all too great and assembling
it is not easy
– This dollhouse kit does not come with paint,
furnishings, or other decorations
–  Finished houses are not recommended for
young children.
Our Ratings
4/5
Hours to Make
as it seems that you need to sand a lot of pieces
before assembling this kit, I would assume that it takes
about 35 hours minimum to make.



4. Beacon Hill Dollhouse Kit by Greenleaf


A second pretty farmhouse dollhouse by Greenleaf is called Beacon Hill.

The design is “dignified and grand”, with a sophisticated exterior and a curved mansard roof, and it has become the flagship of the Greenleaf company.


Brand
Greenleaf
Scale
1: 24
– assembled dimensions: 32″ W x 17″ D x 40″ H
– with seven rooms and two hallways
Pro’s

Contra’s
– this kit does not come with paint, furnishings, or other decorations
– not suitable for children to play with
– you need to be careful to not splinter the wood when
punching out the pieces
– you need to sand most of the pieces, which can be
tedious

Hours to Make

5. Mini Modern Two-Level Farmhouse

This is a small and handmade farmhouse that looks quite modern and is available as a dollhouse kit but also assembled and finished.

Jessica Cloe Minis

Our Ratings
4,5/5

6. Greenleaf Glencroft Dollhouse Kit


In my opinion, the design of this farmhouse dollhouse is amazing.

Although you need to paint and decorate it yourself to make it look like in the picture below, the basic is very original. It has some issues though, as you can see further on.

By the way, this looks like it is in Tudor style!

Brand
Greenleaf
Scale

– 25″ W x 18″ D x 24″ H
Pro’s
– Beautiful design, I love it
– has perfect value for money
– not for beginners
Contra’s
– unfinished wood, you need to create and buy
all decoration yourself, shingles as well
– too small to play with for kids
– several pieces are extremely difficult to punch out

Hours to Make
about 20 hours minimum



7. Flower Town Dollhouse kit


This cute little farmhouse dollhouse is an exception to this list, regarding the inclusion of all the pieces needed to build everything in the picture, little perfume bottles and mini furniture included.

Which the others haven’t, so no need to find and get other stuff!

Brand
Rylai
Scale
1: 24 scale
Pro’s
– Includes a music box
– quality, quarter inch thick, MDF particle board 
–  the pictures are pretty self-explanatory

  1. Dollhouses are a cute craft that takes patients and dedication to complete even with proper instructions. I am looking for a new farmhouse style doll house and that is how came upon for list of 7. This list gives me a few choices to start with, but the thing about it is I love them all. Think am going to start with the Victoria style, as this style fits a lot of exterior homes in our area.

  2. Blimey, have you seen this article over at EverythingVerySmall about 7 amazing farmhouse dollhouse kits? It’s got me all excited about miniaturization, I tell ya!

    First off, let me ask – have you ever built a dollhouse before? I mean, I’ve always been a bit of a DIY guy, but dollhouses were never really on my radar. But now, I’m starting to see the appeal. I mean, just look at these farmhouse kits – they’re adorable!

    Now, I’ve got to say, I’m a bit of a traditionalist. I like my dollhouses to look like…well, like dollhouses. But these farmhouses, they’re something else altogether. They’re so charming and quirky, I could just gobble them up.

    But here’s what I’m wondering – are these kits actually any good? I mean, I don’t want to spend my hard-earned cash on a kit that’s gonna give me nothing but headaches. 

    So far, I haven’t built any of these farmhouse dollhouses myself, but I’m definitely considering it. I mean, who wouldn’t want a mini farmhouse in their living room, right?
