For North Carolina native Clay Aiken, there's no place like home and California just isn't it.

The singer has put his 7,800-square-foot California house -- complete with six bedrooms, six-and-a-half baths, swimming pool and other extras -- on the market for $2.5 million, the Raleigh, N.C., News and Observer reported Tuesday. He bought the house about a year ago.

Aiken, 26, told his hometown newspaper he's building a new house in the Raleigh area.

"Whether this ride lasts for one year or 10 years, I want to have a home base," he said.
