"Jackson's 'Neverland' ranch to be auctioned off: report"
Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch has been foreclosed and will be auctioned off next month unless the singer pays off a 24.5 million dollar loan, Fox News reported on its website Tuesday.
The US network said in a report citing official documents that the sprawling 1,000 hectare (2,800 acres) ranch in Santa Barbara County would be sold at auction on March 19 unless the fallen 'King of Pop' pays 24,525,906.61 dollars.
The auction sale would include the house as well as all personal property inside, including fixtures and appliances, furniture and "all merry go round type devices", rides and games, the report said.
Fox reported that Jackson -- who has not lived in Neverland since June 2005, when he was acquitted of sexual molestation charges arising from alleged incidents involving a young at the property -- may let the auction proceed.
A spokeswoman for Jackson, who has been struggling to rebuild his career since his "Trial of the Century", was not immediately available for comment.
