Far Hills

Far Hills, located in Somerset County, New Jersey, is a small and affluent community with a quaint town center, large country estates, equestrian culture, and serene countryside. It's an excellent choice for those seeking a quiet, country lifestyle that is relatively close to New York City.

The town is home to the annual Far Hills Race Meeting, a popular Breeder's Cup steeplechase that draws visitors from across the country.

Far Hills also offers access to picturesque parks and natural areas, including Buck Gardens and the iconic Natirar County Park, which also extends into Bedminster and Peapack and Gladstone.

In addition to Natirar, additional hiking and recreational options are plentiful in places like Jockey Hollow, Hacklebarney State Park, and the Great Swamp Wildlife Refuge, among many others.

Shopping in Far Hills is limited to small, upscale boutiques and specialty shops. For more extensive retail options, residents often visit nearby Bernardsville or Bridgewater, which offer a wider variety of stores and dining experiences.
