It's good to be a wildly successful head coach of athletes who don't get paid. Nick Saban will make $5.6 million in base salary this year, so it's time to trade up from his North Georgia vacation home. Because sometimes, an $11 million house with a freaking lighthouse isn't swank enough.

Via the "The Pointe on Lake Burton" is up for auction next month, originally listed at $10.95 million, but selling without reserve. It's a lovely little waterfront property in Clayton, Ga., nestled on a peninsula jutting out into Lake Burton, "the queen of the southern lakes," as the listing puts it.

Here's what you get with the place, via Concierge Auctions:

9,609 square feet of living on 1.7 acres

6 bedrooms

6 full and 3 half bathrooms

4-car garage

700 feet of Lake Burton frontage

270-degree mountain, lake and sunset views

Landscaped courtyard

Unparalleled craftsmanship and quality

Natural local stone

Reclaimed timber beams

Heart pine & Pennsylvania Bluestone flooring


Custom-built fireplaces with handcrafted brick

Swimming dock

Custom boat house

Authentic Cape Cod style stone lighthouse

Entertainment deck with stone fire pit & outdoor kitchen/grilling area

Don't worry, Nick has a second home on the lake. Now let's look at some photos of the place, which might be good enough for an assistant coach's spring getaway, but not Saban.
