ATLANTA – University of Alabama football coach Nick Saban is selling his lake-front estate in the north Georgia mountains with its three-story lighthouse and custom boat house.
A real estate firm confirmed today that the 9,600-square-foot home northeast of Atlanta on Lake Burton will be sold privately in a June 6 auction.
Concierge Auctions says the home, on the shores of the mountain lake, was originally listed at $10.95 million, but will be auctioned to the highest bidder. A brochure says it has “jaw-dropping 270-degree cascading mountain, lake and sunset views.”
Saban said he developed the Rabun County property with builder Jim Suddes. It features a grand room with a 24-foot vaulted ceiling, a wine cellar with antique gate from Barcelona, a European-style pub/billiards room, formal and professional kitchens and staff quarters, according to the auction firm.
