Alan Jackson selling homes here

Jupiter Island is home to folks who have the luxury and means to live anywhere in the world.  Many business titans call the Island home, like Lou Gerstner and Richard Fuld.
Most of the homes on Jupiter Island are quiet haunts for old money.  Those folks that simply want to get away from the normal hustle and bustle of their working lives and are comfortable being around such surroundings.
Celebrities like Alan Jackson and Celine Dion have recently begun migrating to the Island.  Jackson, who also owns a home on the Tequesta mainland with a dock long enough to hold his two yachts, lives in an oceanfront estate.  It is currently on the market for $ 14.9 million.
Word is not yet out about his plans, but he does keep two very large yachts in a nearby marina.  His sportfishing boat, "Hullbilly" is docked next to a classic open style yacht which he keeps under cover.  The Hullbilly is so long it's hard to get a picture of the boat that would do it justice.  Here's what the transom looks like though.
HULLBILLY
