Alabama football coach Nick Saban has purchased an oceanfront Florida estate for $17.5 million.
Located on Jupiter Island, Saban, who is the highest-paid coach in college sports, closed on the home last month.
The property last traded hands in 2014 for $9.2 million, meaning the price has since nearly doubled in the high-demand area.
Occupying 6,200 square feet, the home sits on 1.7 acres of land and boasts unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean in the front yard, and views of the Indian River in the back.
Other features include a refurbished dock, a gourmet kitchen with updated stainless steel appliances and parking for up to 50 cars.
Made up of a four-bedroom, five-bathroom main house and a 500-square-foot guest apartment, the property offers plenty of space for entertaining.

(They declined to comment for this story.) “With no commercial businesses on the island, this is just a wonderful place to be. We have a lot of high-profile people here, but it’s all very low-key, not flashy at all.”
Meanwhile, Jupiter Island is flooded with other celebs, including Tiger Woods, Greg Norman, Gary Player and singer Celine Dion. MLB pitcher Max Scherzer also bought a Jupiter mansion for $15 million earlier this year.
In 2022, Alabama signed Saban to an eight-year contract extension worth $93.6 million. He has been the head football coach at the University of Alabama since 2007. Prior to that, he was the head coach for the Miami Dolphins.
In 2013, Saban was inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame. He has won seven national titles as a head coach, the most in college football history.
