I think that’s a good idea!

The cost to move a house here in Iowa is typically: cost of new foundation and utilities, the cost of jacking the house up, cost of moving (something like $3-5 per mile), moving power lines for 2-3 story homes ($1000/ea). So, moving a house in a rural area is relatively cheap because there are few/no power lines in the way and roads are wide even in many small towns.

Marilyn’s house looks like a 1-story, so it could probably be cut up in sections and moved like a double wide w/o worrying about power lines.
