Property Description
Welcome to the Maag Quarter Horse Farm, a remarkable property where more than 130 years of Kansas history are etched into native limestone and over five decades of family ownership have carefully preserved the land, improvements, and character of this treasured homestead. Located just two miles from Marion along paved Highway 77, the property encompasses approximately 45 acres and offers a rare combination of historic architecture, productive native grassland, established livestock facilities, and authentic rural heritage. Long recognized as a landmark within the township, the Maag Quarter Horse Farm is best known for the beauty of its native limestone structures and the extraordinary craftsmanship that has allowed them to endure through generations. The property's story began in 1887, when the original homestead and barn were constructed together as one limestone structure, separated only by an interior stone wall. Today, the remaining walls stand proudly north of the present residence, a striking reminder of the farm's earliest days and the resourcefulness of the families who first settled this land. Three years later, in 1890, the current one-and-a-half-story limestone residence was built. Impressive in its day and equally captivating now, the home offers approximately 2,187 square feet of living space with three bedrooms and one full bathroom. Its native limestone exterior has been thoughtfully maintained, preserving the architectural integrity and enduring beauty that make the residence truly one of a kind. A welcoming staircase leads to the front entrance and side kitchen door, both sheltered by a beautiful wraparound porch distinguished by graceful curved edges and original lighting. It is easy to imagine the porch swing that once hung here, serving as the centerpiece of quiet evenings overlooking the surrounding Kansas countryside. Stepping inside, the quality of the home's construction is immediately apparent. The walls remain square and true, a testament to the skill of the craftsmen who built it more than a century ago. Original hardwood floors extend throughout the residence, complemented by vintage fixtures, custom features, and period finishes that preserve the warmth and personality of the home. The spacious kitchen connects to a functional mudroom and wash area, with convenient access to the basement. The basement was professionally waterproofed in 2024 and is protected by a transferable 20-year warranty. A newly replaced roof and leaf guards were completed during the summer of 2026, adding important updates while maintaining the home's historic character. From the kitchen, the floor plan continues into the dining area and living room. Double doors open into what was once the formal parlor, a versatile room that has also served as an additional bedroom. Just off the dining room is the main-level bedroom and full bathroom, providing comfortable and convenient living on the primary floor. Upstairs, the landing features built-in bookshelves and closet space, creating the perfect setting for a reading nook, office, or quiet sitting area. The upper-level bedrooms offer generous storage, including an expansive closet that leads into an impressive attic. Used by generations of the family for storage, the attic even retains the original stock tank that served as the home's water-holding system before indoor plumbing was installed. This remarkable remnant provides a tangible connection to the property's early history. With its substantial space and solid framework, the attic also presents an opportunity to create a bonus room, family room, studio, or additional bedroom. The residence is equipped with central heating and air conditioning and is served by well water and a private septic system. The propane tank is owned and filled through MFA. A 30-by-24-foot detached garage offers two overhead doors, concrete floors, and electricity. See Midwest Land Group for remains marketing remarks.
