A 5.07-acre equestrian property in Jupiter Farms pairs a four-bedroom ranch home with a guest house, a three-stall barn and five paddocks, all minutes from the beach.

Jupiter Farms is where Jupiter keeps its open space. West of the turnpike and south of Indiantown Road, the lots run to acreage rather than quarter-acres, the roads stay quiet, and the sound at night is mostly wind in the pines. It's also, as the crow flies, only a handful of miles from the beach. That combination of room to spread out and a short drive to the coast is exactly why land here is held so tightly. 17593 Winterhawk is a 5.07-acre equestrian property in that pocket, offered at $3,995,000. The listing covers three things at once: a single-story main residence of 2,619 square feet with four bedrooms and three and a half baths, a detached guest house, and a three-stall barn with five fenced paddocks. Together they describe a property that can carry horses, house guests for a long weekend, and still feel private at the end of the day. The main house was built in 1993 of concrete block and stucco under a metal roof, the construction most buyers in this part of Palm Beach County ask for first. It reads as a classic Florida ranch from the drive: a low hipped profile, a covered entry with double doors, mature planting against the walls, and a long lawn in front of it. ### Inside the Main Residence The plan is open where it should be and separate where it matters. High ceilings carry through the main living areas, and the kitchen, family room and casual dining space share one long run of light wood flooring and white walls. The kitchen is fitted with dark wood cabinetry, stone counters, a large working island with a prep sink and bar seating, and a full suite of stainless appliances, including a built-in refrigerator and freezer, double wall ovens, a cooktop and a microwave. A wall of windows at the far end of the family room looks out to the lanai and the pool. A formal living room and dining room sit off the entry, each lit by a chandelier and finished in the same pale palette, so the house photographs quietly and lives easily. The bedrooms follow a split layout: the primary suite is set apart from the secondary bedrooms, which gives a household, or a houseful of weekend guests, a measure of separation. The primary suite opens through French doors to the lanai. Its bath carries a freestanding soaking tub beneath twin glass-block windows, a walk-in shower with a glass-block wall and a mosaic tile band, a long vanity, and walk-in closets. The secondary baths are finished in the same travertine-toned tile. Central air and ceiling fans throughout handle the Florida summer. ### The Lanai, the Pool and the Guest House Outdoor living here is organized around a deep covered lanai that runs along the back of the house. The pool and its stone deck sit just off it, framed by palms, with open lawn stretching beyond. It's the kind of setup where the day naturally drifts outside and nobody feels the need to announce it. Then there's the guest house, which does more work than it first appears to. It gives visiting family their own front door, or an adult child a soft landing, or a long weekend guest the option to sleep in past the household's schedule. And the equestrian side of the property is fully built out, not just zoned for it: - A three-stall barn with room for tack and feed - Five fenced paddocks, ready for turnout - 5.07 acres total, with space to ride or simply roam - A detached guest house for visitors or extended stays What makes this property interesting isn't any single feature. It's the way the pieces work together. Horses need land and structure. Guests need distance without being far. And the owners, at the end of the day, need the house to close around them quietly. Five acres in Jupiter Farms, a few miles from the beach, is a rare thing to find all in one place. If that balance is what you've been looking for, this one is worth a closer look.
