Jupiter Farms homes for sale,

Jupiter Farms is a dedicated equestrian area west of the Town of Jupiter.  Homes for sale in Jupiter Farms sit on sites of 1.25 acres of more up to 20 acres.  People live in Jupiter Farms because they like to own and ride horses, because they like peace and privacy, or simply to enjoy a little bit of the Florida lifestyle that is quickly disappearing.

Heading west from Jupiter on Indiantown Road, you will first pass the Toll Brothers community of Jupiter Country Club.  In typical Toll Brothers fashion, the Jupiter Country Club has an expansive and dramatic entrance made of stone with fountains, seasonal color beds and stately Medjool Date Palms.  Inside you will find Mediterranean inspired estate homes wrapped around a Greg Norman Signature Golf Course.



Continuing west, you will pass Riverbend Park, a Palm Beach County Park of nearly 1,000 acres where the Loxahatchee River gets its start as it winds through massive cypress trees, through Jonathan Dickinson State Park before entering the Jupiter Inlet and flowing into the Atlantic Ocean.

Past Riverbend Park you arrive in Jupiter Farms.  Make a left on Jupiter Farms Road and you will find Trader Horn's nursery and green market, some local restaurants and the Jupiter Farms Community Park.  Burt Reynolds is Jupiter's most famous son and his old movie studio is here along with Town and Country Feed.


Homes for sale in Jupiter Farms were built over several decades so there are many sizes and styles offered.  You might like to live here if you like wildlife, want to be free of restrictive HOA Associations, like to own and quarter horses and yet still be just 20 minutes from the fabulous Jupiter Beaches.



If Jupiter Farms sounds like it might be right for you and your family, send me a short email with your questions and I will answer that for you.  Or contact me at 561-762-4073.

Riverbend Park in Jupiter Farms: 1838 Loxahatchee Battlefield Commemoration

Just west of Jupiter and Jupiter Country Club is the nearly 1,000 acre County Park called Riverbend Park.  The park includes the headwaters of the Loxahatchee River, one of two Federally Designated Wild & Scenic Rivers in Florida.  It also has several miles of shell rock road open to hikers and bikers and where each month on the full moon the park holds a full moon bike ride.

Canoe Outfitters rents canoes and kayaks or you can bring your own and work you way down the River, past enormous cypress trees, over several weirs, down to Trapper Nelson's old camp and then on to Jonathan Dickinson State Park.  You can join CO and they will pick you up in the Park and return you to Riverbend.  A trip down this river is like a trip back in time.

One of the other annual events held in the Park is the Commemoration of the 1838 Battle sponsored by the Loxahatchee Battlefied Preservationists.  This year, the event is being held Sunday, Jan 16 from 9 to 3.

Here is the video from last year.



It's a great family event held under majestic live oaks.  Plan to come out for a day of fun, see the Park, and when you are done, pick up some great authentic Mexican food at Guacamole just west of the Park in Sierra Square.  Then take a ride through Jupiter Farms.

Jupiter Farms is a dedicated equestrian area where homesites are one acre or more in size and where peace, privacy and freedom to do as you please are the order of the day.  Homes in Jupiter Farms start in the mid-$100's and go up to several million dollars.

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.

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.
