A representative for Fortress did not immediately return a call for comment.
The property was scheduled to be auctioned March 19th after Jackson went into default on the 24.5 million dollars he owes on the 2,500-acre spread.

Jackson has not lived there since his acquittal on child molestation charges in 2005.
