		Irsay said the property has hosted as many as 38 events a year, including the annual Summer Classic, a four-day event that often offered as much as $25,000 in prize money.

		Irsay declined to identify the prospective buyer or sale price, saying only that she expects the land to be used for construction of larger homes like others in the area -- generally, amenity-loaded developments with price tags ranging from $300,000 to more than $1 million.
