Lambiet’s Lunch: Alan Jackson to be a snowbird no mo’

Jackson
– Country music star Alan Jackson plans on moving permanently into his new Jupiter Island home, according to this story on the country website The Boot. Jackson, 50, is putting his mansion in suburban Nashville up for sale. Price: $38 million! Jackson plans on moving south once his three daughters, Mattie, 18, Alexandra, 15, and Dani, 11, are on their own. “We like living in Florida and we probably will do that when the girls are not living with us anymore,” Jackson said. Jackson has owned an ocean-front property on the southern edge of the Martin County town since 2002. Two years ago, he had the old home leveled. He then built an 8,000-square-foot Mediterranean-style villa. He moved in earlier this year. Jackson, the mustachioed singer of Chattahoochee, has been known to spend weeks at a time in the area. When he’s not deep-sea fishing, he may hop on the stage of the local honky-tonk bar, The Square Grouper, for an impromptu show.
– Developer Bob Matthews‘ financial trouble didn’t end with his departure from Palm Beach for the summer. He’s already the proud owner of the largest deliquent property tax bill in Palm Beach County (more than $280,000 on his $15.8 million home). Now an old hotel in Nantucket, Mass., on which Matthews pinned his hopes for the future is in foreclosure. According to the island’s Nantucket Independent, TD Banknorth initiated the proceedings after calling its $40.5 million construction loan to Matthews. Matthews has been trying to rebuild the place into a luxury Mar-a-Lago-style club, Point Breeze.
