Blackrock House, a property which sits in the middle of Royal Troon Golf Club’s Old Course, venue for this week’s Open Championship, has been brought to market by sales agent Strutt & Parker for a guide price of £1.5m.
The semi-detached 3-bed property enjoys panoramic views of the historic links, and sits between the 2nd and 16th holes, and directly behind the 18th tee.
Annabel Blackett, who manages Strutt & Parker’s Country House Department in the North & Scotland, said: “The sale of Blackrock House is one of those rare times where you can safely say there isn’t anything else like this available in the world. Built before Royal Troon Golf Club even existed, the home’s driveway meanders through the course and takes you into almost another world – a world which must surely feel like a dream for any golf fans.
“From here, you can watch five holes from the comfort of your own home, and, of course, you also have the club on your doorstep for your own playing. While the views are fantastic year-round – and particularly with the coastal waters in the distance – the position really comes into its own when a championship as prestigious as The Open is in town.
“This week, The Open is being hosted at Royal Troon for the 10th time, which means you can watch the world’s best players tee off from various rooms in the house.”
“Now split into two homes, our clients have owned Blackrock House for 30 years, so this sale presents a rare opportunity for someone to own a slice of one of the most famous links courses in the country. It’s little surprise that launching a home as special as this has created the level of buzz and interest that we’ve seen so far.”
