You probably have an idea of what a farmhouse looks like. But increasingly, architects are experimenting with the traditional farmhouse and creating beautiful modern farmhouses. They still have the laid-back, rustic aesthetic of the past, but they don't skimp on modern style. So if you're pining for life on the land (or maybe just dreaming of your own little hobby farm), take stock of these possibilities.

Farmhouses aren't what they used to be.
