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.

Jupiter Farms homes, the cavendish banana adds a tropical touch

Homes in Jupiter Farms are sometimes lacking a tropical touch.  Sure we have lots of land.  The properties here are 1.25 acres or more but mostly pines and palmettos.  One way to add a quick, tropical touch is to add the dwarf, Cavendish banana.

Cavenish banana

This smaller cousin of the taller, commercial species is a great addition to the landscapes.  True enough, it produces edible bananas.  But the real attraction is the quick habit of growing large, tropical leaves.  And since it doesn't require much space is perfect close to the house.

This clump is growing near my Jupiter Farms home.  So how do you get a clump started?  Well, check the local big box stores during the summer.  Or support your local, small nursery.  If they don't have them, they can get them.  Plant and water....that's it!

Jupiter Farms: Horses are a part of life

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.

You can see all homes for sale in Jupiter Farms or homes for sale on Jupiter Island on my website at Coastal Florida Real Estate.  Or for personal service, call or text me at 561-762-4073.
