Jupiter Farms: A 2-minute walking tour

Jupiter Farms is a dedicated equestrian area west of the Town of Jupiter.  Home sites here are 1.25 acres and larger. People here quarter and ride horses and enjoy the freedom form HOA rules that plague our gated communities.

Some months back, I made this video of Jupiter Farms real estate and lifestyle.



It got hundreds of visits on You Tube and while anyone can make a driving tour, I thought you might enjoy a walking tour. My wife and I took a holiday walk and I shot this so you can really see what life is like here in Jupiter Farms.

Jupiter Farms: A mid-winter rainstorm

Here in Jupiter Farms, winter is supposed to be our dry season.  However, last year we had some severe rainstorms that I filmed and added to my channel on You Tube.   Last week, we had another and when it rains this hard I just have to get the camera out and film it.  So here it is...it's short so enjoy.




Jupiter Farms homes offer some of the finest real estate opportunities in this area.  To see all homes for sale in Jupiter Farms, just click HERE.

Frost in the Farms, day two

Here in Jupiter Farms it gets really cold.  I mean really cold for coastal Florida, not Buffalo.

We have had frost the past two days and may get it again tonight.  This was shot on my car today.

Two good things though.  One, it will be getting warmer again this afternoon with a low only in the 40's tonight.  And, this really cold weather makes the backyard citrus sweet.  So we can eat our oranges, grapefruit and tangerines earlier this year.  Last year, it didn't get really cold until January when it wiped out my garden.



Orange juice is just around the corner.  If you would like to live in Jupiter Farms, there are plenty of houses to choose from.  To see all houses for sale in Jupiter Farms, just click HERE.



Jupiter Farms and the Loxahatchee River

Its hard to believe that living in Palm Beach County we could still have such a wild & scenic river available to us, but the Loxahatchee River is right in our back yard. Jupiter Farms is right around the corner.

I shot this video while bicycling with my son. You don't need a canoe to explore the River, although it helps.

Jupiter Farms parade time

One of the great things about living in Jupiter Farms is the annual Christmas parade and craft show.  This is an old-fashioned parade that comes down Sandy Run complete with home made floats and horses, lots of horses.  After all this is a dedicated equestrian area.

This morning I visited some friends building a float.

This is the float for the Church in the Farms, one of our local churches.

How very appropriate to find raccoons on the float since I just found one on my roof.  Just go back a couple of posts to read about it and see the pictures.

Does Jupiter Farms look like a great place to live and raise a family?  Well it is.  I've lived here for 10 years.

Jupiter Farms, rooftop raccoon

Jupiter Farms is known for the wildlife we see around here.  Deer are plentiful as are hawks, turkey vultures and owls.  I find box turtles crossing the yard and we all rescue turtles crossing the streets.

This morning, I found my dog dancing on his hind legs looking up on the roof.  So, I went out to check and found this.

A raccoon on my roof!

Like wildlife?  Homes in Jupiter Farms are still only about 15 minutes from the famous Jupiter beaches.
We love the privacy we have here as well as the freedom from the restrictions of Homeowners Association rules.  Homes here are on sites of 1 acre or more and go on up to 20 acres and you can own and quarter horses.
