Welcome to the peaceful countryside retreat you’ve been waiting for. Nestled on 1.74 picturesque acres in Marion and surrounded by open fields as far as the eye can see, this renovated farmhouse offers the quiet, space, and freedom that define true country living. From the moment you arrive, you’ll appreciate how perfectly this home is positioned to capture sweeping rural views in every direction. Mornings begin with golden sunrises over the fields, and evenings wind down with breathtaking sunsets and the calming stillness only the countryside can provide. Inside, this inviting 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home blends farmhouse charm with thoughtful modern updates. The fully remodeled bathroom showcases a stylish new vanity, updated flooring, and an eye-catching backsplash — creating a fresh, clean space with timeless appeal. The home’s comfortable layout offers ample room for family living, cozy gatherings, and everyday functionality, while maintaining the warmth and character you’d expect from a country farmhouse. Step outside and the lifestyle truly opens up. With 1.74 acres of usable land, there’s room to garden, play, entertain, or simply enjoy the privacy and open air. The large barn adds incredible versatility — ideal for storage, workshop space, recreational equipment, animals, or finally launching that hobby farm you’ve always envisioned. Whether you're raising chickens, starting a garden, or creating the ultimate workshop, the possibilities here are endless. Adding both value and practicality, the newly installed outdoor wood boiler offers an energy-efficient heating solution, helping keep utility costs manageable while embracing a self-sufficient country lifestyle. This property isn’t just a home — it’s space to grow, room to breathe, and the opportunity to live at a slower, more intentional pace. If you’ve been craving peaceful surroundings, scenic views, and the freedom of country living, this Marion farmhouse delivers it all.
