Far Hills

An ultra-exclusive enclave defined by sprawling legacy estates, absolute privacy, and equestrian heritage.

The Pinnacle of the Somerset Hills

Welcome to
The Borough of Far Hills

Spanning exactly five square miles, the Borough of Far Hills is one of the wealthiest, most closely guarded, and deeply traditional municipalities in the United States.

Famous for hosting the annual Far Hills Race Meeting (the renowned steeplechase), the borough is heavily zoned for massive, 10-acre minimum estates. It offers high-net-worth individuals an unparalleled level of privacy, prestige, and quiet luxury, while still maintaining direct train access to Manhattan.

Absolute Privacy

Far Hills is strictly zoned to preserve open space, with vast areas requiring **10-acre minimum lot sizes**. The result is a community of secluded, grand-scale legacy estates.

Equestrian Tradition

Deeply rooted in equestrian culture, the town is home to magnificent private horse farms, scenic riding trails, and a vibrant fox-hunting and steeplechase heritage.

The Race Meeting

Every October, Moorland Farms hosts the **Far Hills Race Meeting**, a premier steeplechase event that attracts tens of thousands of attendees for a day of elite tailgating and racing.

Direct Rail Access

Despite its rural aesthetic, the historic **Far Hills Train Station** sits directly in the village center, offering direct NJ Transit service to Hoboken and Manhattan.

Elite Education

Residents have access to the highly-rated public Somerset Hills School District, as well as the prestigious private **Far Hills Country Day School** (PreK-8).

Tax Value Advantage

Thanks to careful municipal management and a small, affluent tax base, Far Hills boasts one of the **lowest property tax rates in New Jersey**, preserving wealth for property owners.
