Basking Ridge homes for sale ... aka Bernards Township, New Jersey has a rich and long history.  I heard it got its commonly used Basking Ridge because of a herd of deer that was found to "bask" on the ridge.   Until not too long ago, Basking Ridge was home to many farms.  Those have given way to tasteful development over the last 40 years or so, with still a country ambiance with gently rolling hills, winding, tree-lined roads and plentiful flora and, yes, fauna too!

Fine public schools - consistently rated in the Top 50 by NJ Monthly Magazine.  The town also features a charming downtown reminiscent of days gone by offering fine country antiques, flowers, home decorating and furnishings, as well as several local favorite restaurants
