Organised golf has been played in this northwest corner of Ireland for well over a century, with two of County Donegal’s clubs among the nine founding members of the Golfing Union of Ireland in 1981.
As such, it is considered one of the cradles of Irish golf, with 10 of its courses listed on the website Top 100 Golf Courses.
But there's so much more to this property's location than just the little white ball aspects.
Built in 2008, what’s for sale is two detached houses on 0.8 of an acre.
The main property is a large, four-bedroom, three-bathroom, B3 BER-rated residence of about 321 square metres.
The second house offers family and friends a place to stay.
Set over three levels, the house is two-storey at the front and drops down a level at the back to make the most of the sloping site, which is bounded on one side by forestry and a stream and has putting greens to the side.
The hall is large enough to accommodate an upright piano.
To the right is a living room that leads through to the family room.
From here, you can go out onto the wrap-around deck.
The family room opens into a large games room, with a pool table, a dartboard and a golf simulator.
The eat-in kitchen can be accessed from the hall or family room and has a range cooker in a tractor red.
Two of its four double bedrooms are down a corridor, to the left of the entrance hall, where the family bathroom also is.
Upstairs, there is a walk-in hot press off the landing, along with a home office.
The principal bedroom runs the full depth of the house and includes a walk-through wardrobe to its sizeable ensuite bathrooms.
There is a second ensuite bedroom at this level.
At the lower ground floor level, there is a large garage, workroom and utility.
The second residence is a one-bedroom plus attic room property, a separate space to host guests or family members, nearby so you can gather as you wish, but can also spend days doing your own thing. Including the attic room upstairs, it extends to about 97 square metres.
Agents Franklins is seeking €565,000 for the two-house estate, which extends to about 418 square metres.
