Electrician in Far Hills Borough, NJ
418 Homes. 10-Acre Minimum Lots. By-Appointment Inspections. One of America’s Wealthiest ZIP Codes.
Far Hills Borough was incorporated in 1921 when the 200 residents of what was then the western edge of Bernards Township voted to break away over rising property taxes. They created a borough that has remained almost unchanged ever since: approximately 924 residents, 418 housing units, 5 square miles, 10-acre minimum lot zoning, no commercial alcohol sales (Far Hills remains a dry borough), and average adjusted gross income exceeding $814,000 per household in the Bloomberg 2020 ranking of America’s wealthiest ZIP codes.
The borough’s 418 homes are almost entirely estate-scale properties: large houses on large land, typically with multiple secondary structures — barns, guesthouses, pool houses, garages. The Gladstone Branch NJ Transit line serves Far Hills Station — the 1914 Delaware, Lackawanna & Western station building listed on the National Register of Historic Places — connecting residents directly to Hoboken and New York Penn Station. Every job in Far Hills requires an appointment for inspection through the Far Hills Construction Department at 6 Prospect Street. We handle all appointments and all permits on your behalf.
Every Far Hills job comes with a free written estimate, a licensed NJ Master Electrician on-site, all permits managed including the by-appointment inspection, and a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Request yours or call directly.

Far Hills Borough Areas
The Borough’s Distinct Character — Village, Estates, and Moorland Farm
In 5 square miles, Far Hills has several distinct areas, each shaped by the 10-acre minimum zoning that defines the borough:
The small village core around Prospect Street and Route 202. Borough Hall at 6 Prospect Street, the Far Hills Police Department, and a handful of small businesses define the village center. Properties here are still large but sit closer to the village amenities than the more remote estate roads.
The Far Hills NJ Transit station on the Gladstone Branch — the 1914 Delaware, Lackawanna & Western building listed on the National Register of Historic Places — is on Route 202. Estate properties near the station have strong commuter EV demand: Gladstone Branch trains run directly to Hoboken Terminal and transfer to New York Penn Station.
The Far Hills Race Meeting — the annual steeplechase that draws up to 50,000 spectators — is held at Moorland Farm (formerly Froh Heim, the estate of Grant Schley). The surrounding estate properties are among Far Hills’ most prestigious addresses, with large acreage and working equestrian operations.
Interstate 287 runs through Far Hills’ western edge. The Mine Brook Road overpass spans I-287 within the borough. Estate properties along the northern and western edge of the borough are among the most private addresses in Somerset County, accessible only by winding estate roads with no through-traffic.
Liberty Corner Road (County Route 512) crosses the borough and provides access to its southern properties. This zone includes some of Far Hills’ more recently built estate homes — still on large lots by any standard, with the full complement of secondary structures and electrical needs.
The Leonard J. Buck Garden — a 33-acre rock garden on Layton Road donated to the Somerset County Park Commission — is one of the premier rock gardens in the eastern United States. The adjacent residential properties reflect the borough’s character of private estates adjacent to preserved land.

How We Work in Far Hills — Including the By-Appointment Inspection Process

Why Far Hills Chooses Us
Twenty Years of Work on Far Hills Estates. Not One Callback.
The average Far Hills property is at least 10 acres. Many are significantly larger — some span 20, 30, or 50 acres with multiple structures. A panel upgrade on a Far Hills estate is not the same scope as a panel upgrade on a standard suburban home: it involves assessing the entire compound, determining load requirements across all structures, evaluating the existing distribution system, and often installing a new main service and sub-panels for each building. We have done this work on multiple Far Hills properties and understand what a complete estate electrical assessment requires.
Far Hills Borough schedules electrical inspections by appointment — the most flexible and personalized inspection process of any municipality we serve. Rather than waiting for a Tuesday or Thursday afternoon window, we contact the Construction Department directly, coordinate a time that works for your household schedule, and ensure the inspector has everything they need for a single-visit sign-off. For pre-sale Construction Records Clearance inspections, we help identify and close any open permits before your closing date — a requirement unique to Far Hills Borough.
Every October, the Far Hills Race Meeting — held at Moorland Farm — brings up to 50,000 people to a borough of 924 residents, making it temporarily the third largest gathering in New Jersey. Estate owners adjacent to the race grounds occasionally need temporary power connections, perimeter lighting, or generator capacity for the event. We plan for the Race Meeting as a real electrical planning consideration for properties in its vicinity — not an afterthought.
The Far Hills NJ Transit station — built in 1914, listed on the National Register of Historic Places — serves the Gladstone Branch to Hoboken Terminal and New York Penn Station. Far Hills residents who commute to Manhattan by train are among New Jersey’s most active EV adopters. The challenge for Far Hills EV charger installations is the long conduit run from the main panel, often in the main residence, to a detached garage 50–100 feet away on a large property. We size and install these circuits correctly, pulling all required Far Hills permits and scheduling the inspection appointment.

What We Know About Far Hills Borough
🔴 The Far Hills Race Meeting — 100+ Years at Moorland Farm
The Far Hills Race Meeting has been held annually on the third Saturday of October since 1916, when it moved to Froh Heim — the estate of Grant Schley — which was later renamed Moorland Farm. The steeplechase draws up to 50,000 spectators to a borough of fewer than 1,000 residents. The borough temporarily becomes the third most populous gathering in New Jersey for that single day. General admission tickets start at $100; reserved tailgate spaces at $475. NJ Transit runs special Gladstone Branch trains on race day.
For estate owners on or near the race grounds, the Race Meeting is a real planning event. Generator capacity for hosting, outdoor lighting for parking areas, and temporary power connections may all be requested in the weeks before the Race. We plan for these needs as part of annual estate electrical maintenance.
🔴 Far Hills Station — National Register, 1914
The Far Hills NJ Transit station was built in 1914 by the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad and designed by L.R. Simpson. It is constructed of reinforced concrete in a design nearly identical to the earlier Morris Plains station. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Gladstone Branch service connects Far Hills directly to Hoboken Terminal and via transfer at Summit to New York Penn Station. Lakeland Bus Lines also provides Route 78 rush-hour service to Port Authority Bus Terminal.
This transit access is real and used. Far Hills residents commute to New York and are transitioning to EVs at a high rate. For those whose detached garages are 50, 75, or 100 feet from the main panel, we run the EV charger circuit properly — conduit sized for the run length, breaker sized for the charger’s actual amperage, and the inspection appointment scheduled with the Far Hills Construction Department.

What Far Hills Customers Say
Real Reviews from Far Hills Borough Property Owners
“We have a 22-acre property with a main house, guesthouse, barn, and equipment shed. They assessed every structure, gave us a clear written scope, and pulled all four Far Hills permits. Generator connection sized correctly for the well pump and barn systems. Inspection appointment scheduled at our convenience, not theirs. This is how estate electrical work should be done.”
Property Owner — Far Hills Borough
“I commute into the city from Far Hills Station four days a week and needed a Level 2 charger in my detached garage — about 85 feet from the panel. They ran the conduit properly through the crawl space and under the driveway, pulled the Far Hills permit, and had the inspection scheduled within a week of completion. PSE&G rebate filed the same day. Seamless.”
