Enjoy living in this Folly Cove property where artist and author Virginia Lee Burton did her life's work. This delightful estate is the well-preserved subject of her children's book "The Little House" The 3.9 acre property includes a sunny farmhouse as well as a separate barn/studio, each of which have been featured in many publications. Virginia wrote her books in the studio and it is also where the Folly Cove Design Group was formed and met. The house has 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths and the historic post and beam studio has a 20' granite fireplace and cathedral ceilings, providing comfort and privacy for guests. Unique features include large granite tables, benches and a cozy firepit. Granite pillars support trailing grapevines and near-by is a quarry and hiking /biking trails. Fruit and nut trees and berry bushes, as well as vegetable and flower gardens complement the yard. This is a magical property with plenty of privacy and parking that lends itself to indoor and outdoor events.
