Equestrian Retreat at the Edge of Willowdale Forest

For more than 60 years, Elaine and Dick Robson have called this peaceful corner of Topsfield home. Their 8.92-acre horse farm offers a rare direct ride-out to the scenic trails of Willowdale State Forest. “I love that Topsfield is a farm-friendly community,” says Elaine. “The Willowdale trails are the best way to experience life from my saddle—every ride is different and unique!”
Designed for ease and efficiency, the 70x100' barn includes 24 stalls—16 with in/out paddocks—two tack rooms, a lounge with half bath, feed room, and storage for 2,000 hay bales. A 734-square-foot, two-bedroom apartment offers flexible use for staff or rental income. The property also features eight pastures, a lit 100x180’ sand ring, and owned solar panels powering the barn.
The 2,852-square-foot custom home includes first-floor bedroom options, two fireplaces, a fireplaced primary suite, and a two-car garage with carport. Designated under Chapter Land status, the property offers potential agricultural tax benefits. “This is a dream property for riders and outdoor enthusiasts alike,” says REALTOR® Cricket Sperry of J. Barrett & Company.
