Pittsburgh Pirates' former owner auctioning off 63-acre estate
Property includes a 9,600-square-foot main residence, built in 2004
Real estate expert Katrina Campins says while there's an influx of buyers in the housing market, there isn't enough inventory for them to choose from at the moment.
A 63-acre estate previously listed for $4.25 million is headed to auction with no reserve.
The Ligonier, Pennsylvania property is owned by Kevin McClatchy, the director of The McClatchy Company and former owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates. It’s located about an hour east of Pittsburgh.
