Jupiter Farms sold on Sept. 17

Jupiter Farms, the famous equestrian area, is located about 10 minutes west of the Town of Jupiter.  Here residents are unfettered by restrictive HOA covenants and enjoy the freedom this brings with it.  I moved from Tequesta out here about 12 years ago and love my 1.5 acres.

This house just sold here in the Farms after about 9 months on the market.  It is a 3/2.5 with about 2,000 square feet under air and was a short sale.  It sold for $ 232,000 and does not have a pool.

Since Jupiter Farms and our western communities are such large areas, there are always plenty of properties on the market. Right now they range in price up to nearly $ 10,000,000 for an estate in Ranch Colony.

You might consider Jupiter Farms homes for sale if you like an individual styled home with plenty of room.  You will certainly know your neighbors since there is a strong sense of community here and will probably never go the the local Publix without running into several people you know.

Sonoma Isles: Jupiter Farms gets new DiVosta homes

Jupiter Farms, a semi-rural area west of the Town of Jupiter, is slated to get around 300 new DiVosta homes soon.  Just west of the Florida Turnpike is a parcel of land where cows once grazed. WCI, a builder casualty of the boom gone bust period here, owned the land and sold it to Toll Brothers and the Jupiter Country Club was built.  Except that there wasn't quite enough room on the south side of Indiantown Road for everything they wanted or needed to build so they bought a key hole shaped parcel on the north side to build the clubhouse and three golf holes.  The surrounding land remained fallow.  Enter DiVosta.

Several decades ago Buzz DiVosta started his company, Berg and DiVosta and began building condos using a repetitive formula.   This area is peppered with DiVosta condos.  Then they began building houses using a similar formula.  No variations were allowed to the floor plan, only the upgrades.  You couldn't even change colors on the exterior.  If you wanted your house yellow, you had to buy the one they offered in yellow since no changes were allowed.

A couple of years back, Pulte homes paid a reported $140 million for DiVosta.  They are currently building Windsor Park in Abacoa, Jupiter.  And now the company plans to build around the parcel Toll Brothers owns.  It is called Sonoma Isles.

Jupiter Farms residents have long protected their idyllic lifestyle on large home sites and the threat of more building is always met with an uneasy feeling.  While it is true that Riverbend Park provides a buffer for the Farms from too much development, the Farms residents can always feel the pressure of developers breathing down their necks.

Heck, you move to the Farms to get away from people...like they did in the TV show "Green Acres".

Homes in Jupiter Farms are built on 1.25 acres or more where you can ride horses or have a big garden.  You can see all Jupiter Farms homes for sale at Coastal Florida Real Estate or if you need some guidance, I have lived here for 25 years and can show you the best locations.  You can contact me at 561-762-4073.

Jupiter Farms, it's time for bonfires!!

Few things make it seem more like fall than the smell of burning leaves.  Here in Jupiter Farms, where we don't have any choking HOA restrictions we can enjoy a great fire in the backyard.  And there's nothing like a big bonfire on a cool, fall night.

Homes in Jupiter Farms sit on lots of 1.25 acres and more so there are no neighbors to complain about your fire.  In fact, my neighbor to the east builds much bigger fires on cold nights than I do.  My neighbor on the west likes to burn leaves so you can often smell his fires during the afternoon.

With bonfire season upon us, we now start watching for people cutting down dead trees and moving them to the street for pickup.  We mostly see pine trees at the street but they burn very quickly.  If I stumble upon an oak tree cut up and at the street I almost always bring this wood home.  It burn slowly so the fire doesn't need as much tending.

And since there are HOA rules, you can have any wildlife here you might like such as chickens, ducks, geese, horses or goats...and we have them in Jupiter Farms.

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.

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.
