Rossington died at age 71 in March. Though his cause of death has yet to be revealed, the musician had an emergency heart procedure in 2019 and a history of heart issues.
In 1977, Rossington was one of more than a dozen passengers who survived a plane crash in Mississippi that killed lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, siblings Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines, and three others. Rossington broke both his legs, his arms, ankles and pelvis.
A decade after the incident, he rejoined the band when Ronnie's brother, Johnny Van Zant, reformed the group.
Rossington held a collection of the band’s memorabilia at the home that is not being sold with the property, and it is being relocated to a forthcoming museum.

His wife, Dale Rossington, spoke with the Wall Street Journal about the home they shared for 30 years.
"Over the years, we kept acquiring the land around us until we found ourselves with 80 acres of serenity, and Gary had a sanctuary," Dale said.
