Why Get Farms & Ranches in Hunterdon County

What to Consider When Getting Farms & Ranches in Hunterdon County, NJ

Interested in owning land for farming, ranching, or equestrian use in Hunterdon County? Contact Freeman Smith for expert insight into the best rural properties and working lands on the market today.

Farm and ranch properties are subject to specific zoning laws—such as AR (Agricultural Residential)—that dictate allowable uses like livestock, crop production, barns, and fencing. Some parcels may also have deed restrictions or conservation easements limiting further development. Freeman can help you verify zoning compliance and avoid costly surprises when planning how to use the land.

If you plan to grow crops, graze animals, or establish vineyards, the soil type and drainage capacity are crucial. Hunterdon’s terrain varies from loamy, well-drained fields to rocky or poorly drained hillsides. Soil testing will reveal suitability for specific agricultural uses. Freeman can connect you with local resources to assess whether a parcel supports your farming goals.

Reliable water access—whether via private wells, streams, ponds, or irrigation rights—is essential for both crops and livestock. Some parcels in Hunterdon County offer natural water features, but you’ll need to verify year-round usability and any DEP (Department of Environmental Protection) regulations. Freeman can assist in evaluating water sources and permit considerations for agricultural use.

Whether you’re buying an operating farm or raw land, assess the quality, layout, and legality of existing structures—such as barns, pole buildings, riding arenas, or equipment sheds. For horse properties, also evaluate pasture space, fencing, and access to riding trails. Freeman can identify turn-key farms or help you assess the cost of necessary improvements.

Hunterdon County offers significant property tax savings through New Jersey’s Farmland Assessment Program. To qualify, the land must be actively farmed and generate a minimum level of annual income. Understanding how to obtain and maintain this status can affect your long-term costs. Freeman can guide you through the application process and help you identify qualifying properties.

Large-acreage farms and ranches require adequate access for trailers, machinery, and supply deliveries. Evaluate the width and condition of driveways, gate clearances, and road access—especially in more remote areas. Freeman can help you assess whether a property is logistically sound for agricultural operations or livestock hauling.
