This offering marks an extraordinary opportunity to acquire one of North America’s most prestigious properties. While the 437.5 acre farm is globally celebrated for its history of breeding, training, and raising excellence and many world-class sport horse champions, the focus now turns to the sale of the physical estate, a masterpiece of equestrian infrastructure and natural beauty now available for its next chapter. The property is defined by its remarkable landscape, featuring 200 wooded acres of mature trees, 220 acres of pastureland, and 15 acres of impervious structures across the gently rolling terrain of Cecil County. Bordered by 1.3 miles of tranquil waters of the Octoraro Creek, the land offers a rare combination of high-performance utility and serene privacy. The sale includes comprehensive, established equestrian infrastructure, highlighted by a 36-stall main barn, 2 outdoor arenas, 12 fields, 31 paddocks, 14 dwellings, 2 additional barns, and numerous equine facilities that have served as the benchmark for elite sport horse development for decades. The true value of Hilltop Farm’s footprint lies in its versatility; it is a canvas limited only by the scale of one’s imagination. While its equestrian pedigree is unrivaled, the estate invites a bold repurposing as a world-class Agri-Tourism Destination or a Private Legacy Compound. The riverfront and woodlands are perfectly suited for a Luxury Wellness Retreat, with riparian trails just a stone's throw from the urban corridors of Philadelphia, Baltimore, and DC. As this historic operational chapter concludes, the property is now positioned for a new curator to inherit a landscape of immense function and beauty. This is a rare chance to own a sanctuary that has been both a stage for international sport and a community standard-bearer. This property includes multiple parcels and should be referenced in conjunction with MLS# MDCC2020402 (Tax ID: 0806025811) and MLS# MDCC2020404 (Tax ID: 0806012450).
