Somerset's most exclusive small borough — USGA HQ mailing address, 105-year-old Far Hills Race Meeting steeplechase, lowest density in Somerset (190.6/sq mi). Median sale ~$1.5M.
A tiny estate borough of horse country and grand homes. Home to the USGA, the famed Far Hills Race Meeting, and some of New Jersey's most exclusive acreage.
Far Hills is one of New Jersey's smallest and wealthiest communities — a 4.85-square-mile borough of just 924 residents (2020) at the heart of the Somerset Hills' horse country. Defined by rolling estates, preserved farmland, and an equestrian tradition, it is home to the headquarters of the United States Golf Association and to Moorland Farm, where the celebrated Far Hills Race Meeting steeplechase is held each fall.
The median sale runs near $1.5M, reflecting a market of estate homes on generous parcels, with the grandest properties reaching well beyond. Far Hills is part of the Somerset Hills Regional School District — sending students to Bernards High School — and has its own train station on NJ Transit's Gladstone Branch. Run under a borough government, Far Hills offers a rare blend of seclusion, prestige, and rail access.
Far Hills draws buyers seeking estate-scale privacy in a storied equestrian setting — yet still within reach of a train to the city. Its scarcity, beauty, and pedigree make it one of the most exclusive small markets in New Jersey.
Rolling parcels and grand homes give Far Hills a privacy and scale found in only a handful of NJ communities.
