Troyer T-14 Cedar Purple Martin House

Premium Amish-Crafted Cedar Construction

Handmade by skilled Amish artisans using 3/4″ high-grade red cedar, this 14-room Purple Martin House offers exceptional natural insulation, strength, and resistance to the elements — a perfect home for your martin colony. Cedar’s natural oils also help prolong wood life and reduce maintenance. 

Spacious Rooms Designed for Comfort

Each compartment measures approximately 6.5″ W x 6″ H x 11″ D, providing large nesting areas that Purple Martins prefer and helping increase occupancy rates compared with smaller, generic martin houses. 

Owl & Predator-Resistant Features

Built-in owl resistance and offset entrance holes help deter predators and unwanted species, ensuring a safer breeding environment for your martins. These thoughtful design details make it a superior choice compared with basic Martin houses. 

Front Access for Easy Management

Front-opening compartments let you inspect nests and perform spring clean-outs without disturbing active nests. Combined with optional starling-resistant Conley II entrances, this house offers both landlord convenience and improved bird safety. 

Lowers Vertically With Optional Winch Kit

Compatibility with optional winch or pole gear lets you lower the entire housing unit for inspection or cleaning — a must-have feature for serious martin landlords that many competitors lack.

Perfect for Attracting Martins to Your Yard

To maximize occupancy, place your martin house in an open area with clear flyways, 30–120 feet from buildings or trees. Proper placement significantly increases the likelihood that returning martins will successfully settle each season. 

Why Bird Enthusiasts Choose This House

Compared to metal or plastic options (e.g., S&K Purple Martin House or Heath Outdoor Deluxe Wood Purple Martin House), cedar offers better insulation against extreme temperatures and a more natural nesting environment — a high-intent choice for serious backyard birders.
