I agree with the answer below. You can say near and far without to/from. Near from is not a phrase used but far from is used on occasion.

Near and Far don't require "to/from" to get their meaning across . "He lives near the store." and, "He lives near to the store." mean the same thing. So you can really use it interchangeably. Unfortunately "near from' doesn't make sense grammatically, and I don't think I've heard anybody use it like that. But you CAN say things like "he lives far from work" and it's fine.
