Real estate agents promise that “there is nothing else available in the world” like Casa Rocha Negra.

The historic facility offers one or two windows of play on the 2nd, 3rd, 16th, 17th and 18th holes.

The property is split in two, with David and Isabel Kelly putting their half up for sale after three decades.

Around 250 years old, the four-bedroom Blackrock House in the Firth of Clyde in Ayrshire predates the famous links course and The Open itself.

Royal Toon was founded in 1878, initially with just six holes.

It is now 45 holes long and has been on the tournament roster since 1923 – with around 250,000 golf fans passing through Blackrock House this week at the 152nd Open.

The choice of views from inside the property include the entire 391-yard, par-4 second hole and a straight eagle’s gaze at the 458-yard 18th hole.

Annabel Blackett, of estate agent Strutt & Parker, described the sale as “one of those rare moments when it can be safely said that there is nothing else like it available in the world”.

She added: “The driveway to the house winds through the course and takes you into almost another world – a world that must surely feel like a dream to any golf fan.

“From here you can watch five holes from the comfort of your own home and of course you also have the clubhouse on your doorstep to play at.

“While the views are fantastic all year round – and particularly with the coastal waters in the distance – the position really stands out when such a prestigious championship as The Open is in town.

“Now split between two homes, our clients have owned Blackrock House for 30 years, so this sale represents a rare opportunity for someone to own a slice of one of the country’s most famous links courses.”

Almost like having your own 19th hole, ultra large and exclusive!

The house is between the second and sixteenth holes and behind the 18th
