Getting to $200k ARR is an amazing achievement, particularly in just one year and without funding.
I can't advise you on pursuing an acquisition, but I'm in the same boat as you - I run a one-person company making $65k ARR after 16 months of hard labour. I know how tough it is doing it on your own, and how easy it is to question yourself when you don't have the external validation of an employer, investors, etc.
Are you sure you wouldn't be better sticking with it? After a year of working on something on your own all of your biases will be towards selling - if you're not sure then it's almost certainly the wrong choice. Have you looked at doing something like YC / Startup School, even if you don't want to take investment? Having any kind of external validation will help. You should also almost certainly take a few days off and recharge, if you haven't already - I find it hard to do that but whenever I do it helps.
