Far Hills Homes for Sale

Far Hills, a small but affluent community, is nestled in the rolling hills of northern Somerset County, New Jersey. The town spans just five square miles and has a population of under 1,000 residents, making it one of the more exclusive and serene areas in the region. The surrounding towns of Bedminster, Peapack-Gladstone, Bernards Township, and Bernardsville, collectively known as the "Somerset Hills," share the area's high-end, rural character.

Far Hills retains its picturesque rural feel due to zoning laws that require properties to be a minimum of 10 acres in size. This ensures that large, private estates and homes surround the small village, which has its origins as a resort community created by a wealthy New York businessman in the late 1800s. The arrival of rail service to nearby Bernardsville in 1870 attracted affluent city dwellers who sought a peaceful escape from the bustling urban life. Check out Far Hills market statistics HERE!

Parks and Recreation in Far Hills

Far Hills is known for its rich sense of community and notable events, which draw attention both locally and nationally. The town shares resources such as a public library, athletic programs, a community pool, and various civic organizations with neighboring Bernardsville.

One of the most renowned events in Far Hills is the Far Hills Race Meeting, held annually in late October during the peak of fall foliage. This event is famous for offering some of the richest purses in America, with a total exceeding $1,000,000. The meeting features the Breeders' Cup Steeplechase, the most prestigious race in American steeplechasing. The event has been a beloved tradition for over 90 years and draws up to 50,000 attendees annually. Visitors enjoy creating extravagant picnic areas with floral centerpieces, hay bale seating, and gourmet meals, making it not just a race but a social occasion.

In addition to the Race Meeting, Far Hills is home to the United States Golf Association (USGA), which is headquartered in the town. The USGA Museum and Arnold Palmer Center for Golf History, located in a beautifully restored Georgian mansion, houses one of the largest collections of golf memorabilia in the world. The museum is one of the best-kept secrets in the area and adds to the town’s cultural significance.
