There isn’t a house like it anywhere else in the world. But if you want The Open to come to your front door be prepared to dig deep.
Earlier this week, we told you about Blackrock House – the two cottages that sit right in the middle of Royal Troon’s Old Course.
Sitting in the shadow of the 16th green, with the 2nd green to the west, it’s the only property on a golf course that holds major championships.
One half of the property is up for sale and estate agents Strutt & Parker have now revealed what you might have to fork out if you want the four-bedroom semi-detached to be yours.
Ready? The guide price is £1,500,000.
Blackrock House: “There isn’t anything else like this available in the world”
Annabel Blackett, associate at Strutt & Parker, 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 the 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 likes of Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson tee off from various rooms in the house – certainly not a claim you could make anywhere else in the world!”
“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.”
