William Ford built a home for his family located in Springwells Township, on the corner of Greenfield and Ford Road, in 1861. It was a working farm, standard for rural residences at the time. Henry was born there in 1863. He lived at this location in Dearborn, until he turned 16. Henry had the home restored in 1919. In 1944 it was carefully transported- moved piece by piece- from its original location to its current site. This was one of the first structures that Henry Ford painstakingly recreated and preserved at his historical theme park, Greenfield Village. The public was invited to tour the home starting in 1953.

In Lenawee County sits the John Pennington-Henry Ford House. The Greek Revival farmhouse is located at 8281 Clinton Macon Road in Macon, Michigan. It was constructed in 1845 by a pioneer farming duo, John and Hannah Pennington. Henry Ford bought the two-story home in the 1930s and restored it. He also bought the surrounding land and cultivated soy to study. He later sold it and it is still a private residence. It was listed on the US National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

The Square House was built around 1888 in Dearborn. Henry built the home himself, following specific instructions from Clara, and cutting wood for the dwelling at the sawmill he owned. The newlyweds moved in after April 11 of that year. They resided there until their move to Detroit. The Fords used this home as a summer cottage until 1937. Henry eventually gave it to his friend, Robert Smith, who moved it to its current location at 29835 Beechwood Avenue in Garden City. In 1952, Smith relocated the home from Dearborn so Ford Motor Company World Headquarters could be constructed without demolishing the structure. It is currently a private residence, sitting between a strip mall and industrial structures.

The last home Henry Ford lived in was built two miles from the farm where he was born. Construction of this 56 room, 31,000 square foot home was between 1914 and 1915. The final estimated cost of construction was $2.5 million. An evolving cast of architects contributed to this early English style home. The first was an associate from Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural firm, Marion Mahony Griffin. She began the initial design in Prairie Style. The Fords then asked William H. Van Tine to revise the design, requesting that he incorporate English Manor house details. Joseph Nathaniel French later finalized details on the home. Fair Lane is set on 1300 acres of meticulous landscaping, designed by Jens Jensen. The formal gardens, reflecting pools, lily pond, and grotto took over six years to create.

Included on the property was a hydro-electric power plant powered by a man-made waterfall, a boathouse, a laboratory used by Edison, a green house, playhouse, and staff cottages. There was also a bowling alley, indoor pool, stables, a giant tree house, and formal gardens. This property and 72 acres of land was designated a National Historical Landmark in 1966.

Edsel and Eleanor purchsed land in White Lake Township beginning in 1923. The family was looking for a retreat to get away from their everyday lives. Haven Hill provided that sanctuary for them. It was close enough for a quick getaway, and easy to get to. It was secluded and was designed to be self-sustaining. Robert O. Derrick was the architect for this project, while Ford family favorite, Jens Jensen, was in charge of landscaping. Construction began in 1924, and was finished in 1931. There were five main buildings, including a lodge, carriage house, gate house, stables, and a barn. The lodge was the main unit where they lived on the 2,422 acre expanse. Additional features included a swimming pool, tennis court, and a toboggan run, and vegetable gardens. Edsel stayed here until his death, and in 1946, Eleanor sold the parcel to that state park system, now located in the Highland State Recreation Area. The buildings have since fallen into desrepair and some were destroyed by a fire. These structures are currently under renovation. Upon completeion, they will serve as a historical resource to visitors.

Built on the shores of Lake St. Clair is the home of Edsel and Eleanor Ford. Construction of the 20,000 square foot house started in 1926, and the Fords began living there in December of 1929. Situated at 1100 Lake Shore Road, the architect behind this estate was heavy-weight Albert Kahn. Kahn had previously worked with Ford Motor Company on various industrial buildings. The style of architecture chosen for this home was inspired by the Cotswold Cottages the Fords had seen while in England. The property in Grosse Point Shores is constructed of sandstone, had slate roofs, and leaded glass windows. Many of the rooms were the work of Walter Dorwin Teague, an industrial designer. Famed landscape architect Jens Jensen created sweeping fields complemented by a lagoon, swimming pool, and squash court. A gate house, playhouse, and power house were placed strategically on the 87 acres of land.

Bill Ford, Jr. put his riverfront property in Ann Arbor on the market in January of 2007 for $3.95 million. Built in 1980, this home was designed by native Ann Arbor architect David Osler. It's a 5,900 square feet, five bedroom home that sits on 17 acres. It includes a tennis court and pool. It seems that this listing has stayed on market for a few years. It was also rumored that he built a new home down the street from this one.

This Lakefront Property in Grosse Pointe Shores is owned by Paul & Lynn Ford Alandt. The residence is off of Lake Shore Road.
