Jupiter Farms homes, a recent sale

Jupiter Farms is a dedicated equestrian area on the western side of the Town of Jupiter.  Here homes sit on 1.25 acres so residents have room for horses or just some space between them and the neighbors.

This 4 bedroom, 3 bath house with nearly 2,300 square feet just sold on Sandy Run, one of the prettiest streets in the Farms.  It was listed at $ 289,000 and sold for $ 250,000.  It was built by Jim Monde, one of the early builders of homes here in the Farms.

This house also had a 2 stall barn in the back, a screened pool and Hickory floors and cabinets.  However, it was a short sale.

If Jupiter Farms seems like the kind of place you might like to live, contact me Richard Sites at 561-762-4073 to see the best locations and some great opportunities.  Unlike most agents, I have lived in Jupiter Farms for 12 years.  If you prefer you can email me at Coastal Florida Real Estate.

Cold front pushing thru the Farms now

Here in Jupiter Farms we live in Big Sky country.  So when foul weather approaches we can see it coming from a distance.

Jupiter Farms cold front approaching

This winter we have had exceptionally warm temperatures.  In fact, the high today was predicted to be 81.  But that was before this cold front came through.  When we get a cold front the states to our north sometimes get tornadoes.  

Last winter we had exceptionally cold weather and we saw a lot of cold damage to our tropical vegetation.  Still, cold for us is not cold by northern standards.  So if the temperature drops into the 50's or 60's it's really OK and usually returns to the 70's by day three.

Then it is back to the golf courses and beaches...which is exactly why we live here.  I have lived in Jupiter and enjoyed the beaches for 22 years.  Jupiter Farms is the hidden jewel in Palm Beach County and yet only 15 minutes from the ocean.

Jupiter Farms Christmas Parade 2011

Part of the phone of living here in Jupiter Farms is the sense of community.  We all like the wildlife, the peace and quiet and of course, the annual Christmas Parade.  The parade is held on Sandy Run Road between Alexander Run and Jupiter Farms Road.  Here, families can gather and watch local civic groups, businesses, Scouts and animal fanciers of all types march along.  I took my dad along and shot this video.

Jupiter Farms: Horses are a part of life

Jupiter Farms is known as a dedicated equestrian area and it's great to see people on horses riding past.  This encounter happened at my back fence.

Jupiter Country Club in Jupiter Farms

Jupiter Country Club is the Toll Brothers community located between Jupiter Farms and the Town of Jupiter.  In classic Toll Brothers fashion, a grand entrance was designed using fountains and lots of stone.

Jupiter Country Club

Frenchman's Reserve, another Toll Brothers community, employed this same idea when they started building.  They built a fountain at entrance costing a reported $ 1,000,000 to entice visit visitors to come to the sales center.

Homes in Jupiter Country Club are laid out around a Greg Norman Signature Golf Course and will be Mediterranean inspired.  Lavish attention to details and fine workmanship highlight the impressive design features.

Jupiter Farms homes for sale, we've got good neighbors out here.

Jupiter Farms is a special area where you can still find good neighbors.  People are more inclined to be neighborly here and almost everyone stops to let an animal cross the road or to to help somebody who needs something.

I have such a friend in my buddy Dave.  Dave has a little time on his hands so he is learning and/or teaching himself how to do things and fix things.  When something is broke, I call Dave to see if he wants to tackle it.

So, recently I took him up on his offer to help change my oil.  Actually, he has all the "real" tools and did the work while I visited.  But visiting is a good thing too...and you can do it here in Jupiter Farms.  So while Dave changed my oil and we listened to Grooveshark, one of his favorite spots on the web, I took this picture of him in action.

If you are looking for good neighbors, peace & quiet and a larger lot, you might consider the homes for sale in Jupiter Farms.  You can see them all at Coastal Florida Real Estate.

Jupiter Farms meets Jupiter Island

Jupiter Farms is a long way from Jupiter Island.  Not in miles or as the crow flies, but in terms of lifestyle.  But I found out today that one thing they have in common is horses.

I was at our local supply store, Town & Country Feed where there is always something interesting going on.  In addition to the black cat, Onyx, sleeping on the scale (he weighs 11.26 pounds) you can usually overhear some interesting conversations about livestock.  Today while waiting in line to check out, I noticed a sleek, new, black Mercedes in the parking lot.  We don't see many of these at the feed store so my curiousity was piqued.



Then I noticed the bumper sticker which read "Jupiter Island" identifying the car as belonging on Jupiter Island.  Residents and regular visitors get these placed on the car so the cops know who is who.  This was even more curious.  Then the driver appeared from inside wearing riding clothes and it became clear why she was here.  She lives on Jupiter Island and keeps her horse(s) in Jupiter Farms where she can come to ride.

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.
