Welcome to New Jersey's countryside
Harmony Township is a rural community of Warren County situated in the vast New Jersey Highlands Region and along the Delaware River. It is home to farmers, equestrians and lovers of the great outdoors, where residents take pride in its agricultural heritage and deeply appreciate the land. It is the site of the historic Van Nest-Hoff-Vannatta Farmstead, the beloved Warren County Farmers’ Fair and proximity to mountainside vistas; despite its rural locale, Harmony is well-connected to nearby cities, less than 10 miles from Phillipsburg, Easton and Washington.
Homestead living in country homes far from neighbors
In a community where nature preserves, undulating valleys and homesteads characterize the environment, homes are typically found on heavily forested roads, offering ample privacy. The abundance of open greenspace has led to new constructions, starting at over 3,500 square feet in Neo-traditional and contemporary styles, featuring spacious acreage. Alongside the Delaware River, residents can choose down-river stays or opt for ranch-style homes, colonials and Cape Cods. Home attributes include large front porches with rocking chairs, long driveways and attached garages. Prices fluctuate based on the location within the township, typically ranging from $325,000 for older homes to $850,000 for construction in 2023.

Today, it’s a site for mountainside hiking along narrow, forested footpaths and countryside from the Delaware River to the Musconetcong River. Buttonwood Game Preserve covers 155 acres where local hunters pursue native pheasant and quail, with a daily fee or membership required. The preserve also features a 13-station sporting clay course.

Pride in its agricultural heritage
In 2021, Harmony Township approved $100 million to fund a project to install solar panel farms in the township. However, long-time residents formed the Harmony Citizens Coalition to combat this, claiming the community’s industrialization would affect the soil’s agricultural integrity, wildlife habitats and nature preserves. “Harmony is unique; it is untouched, with many large farming parcels still intact. We want to keep it that way; it’s our little nook of countryside in New Jersey,” says William and Abigail Postma, owners of Little Ridge Vineyards.
