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.

Mountainside vistas, boating, hunting and historic trails
Atop Scott’s Mountain, Merrill Creek Reservoir is the central hub of activity with specific gate times, offering hiking trails, row boating, canoeing, bass fishing and birdwatching. Residents can access the Warren Highlands Trail on Ragged Ridge, home to a rock once used by the Lenni Lenape for smoke signals. 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. Harkers Hollow Golf Club provides rolling greens and a pool. The Harmony Township Athletic Association oversees local little leagues.

Wineries and small-town taverns dot the landscape
“Agriculture is our passion; we are in the garden state and want to keep that going,” says William and Abigail Postma, owners of Little Ridge Vineyards. These long-time Warren County residents, who grew up in the farming industry, opened their tasting room for visitors to experience live music and quality wines. Apgar’s Cider Press is renowned for its homemade cider, succulent apples, and sweet peaches, accompanied by garden knick-knacks. Tipton’s Tavern, formerly Lanark Inn, has seen the township’s evolution and keeps its neighborly atmosphere. For general shopping, Harmony Hardware has almost everything, and Harmony Spirits & Grocery is an old-fashioned country store supplying essentials. Larger retail options like Walmart, Target and ShopRite are 5 miles away in Phillipsburg.

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.
