Now offered at $519,900! This 5-acre Anthony farm is the kind of place you dream about — where mornings are quiet, evenings are breezy, and there’s room for every animal, hobby, and dream. With usable land, 4 large paddocks, a 2-stall barn, a pool, and no HOA, it is hands-down one of the best-value acreage properties in all of Marion County. The 4-bedroom, 2-bath ranch home offers a charming, comfortable feel with spaces that make you want to slow down, relax, and stay awhile. Inside, you'll find no carpet, warm wood floors, and an enclosed front porch filled with natural light. Enjoy your morning coffee as you sway gently on the side-porch swing, taking in the peaceful start to the day. The property have been well maintained, including a regularly serviced water softener, and the 2021 metal roof on home and pavilion with a completed 4-point inspection provide peace of mind. Out back is where this property truly shines: an oversized lap-style pool and a large covered pavilion perfect for cookouts, gatherings, or unwinding after a long day riding your horses — your own private retreat right at home. (Pool does need resurfacing, and the price reflects that.) The acreage is incredibly functional, offering 4 large, well-established paddocks, a chain-link fenced yard, garden space, and two separate driveways — one leading to the home and the other directly to the 2-stall barn with feed room, wash rack, and RV hookup. Horses, goats, chickens, rabbits — all are welcome here. For equestrians, the World Equestrian Center is approximately 20 minutes away, giving you convenience without sacrificing peace and privacy. There is also ample space on the right side of the property if you wish to build a larger home and keep the existing one as a guest house, in-law suite, or rental. Low taxes, no HOA, and a quiet, usable setting close to shopping, dining, and trailheads make this a standout opportunity. Warm, peaceful, usable, and full of possibility — schedule your private tour today and experience the heart of country living.
