Boyd Farm, Estate of the Day
The author behind the children's book The Sheep-Pig which later became the movie "Babe" starring the adorable talking pig, had some great inspiration. The author, Dick King-Smith, now in his 80s, grew up on Boyd Farm in England's Golden Valley during the 1920s. The home is a six-bedroom converted millhouse and the 10-acre property includes three barns. The Boyd river runs next to the farmhouse and wildlife including herons, otters and deer abound. It's English countryside charm at its best right down to the listing picture which shows two plump hens along a shady path. This home is listed at £2.25 million.
