You might need to win an Open to afford this incredible Meath home overlooking golf course
Located in a truly historic setting and overlooking an incredible golf course designed by one of the greatest architects ever, this home in County Meath is on the market for millions.
Set on beautifully landscaped grounds, the Killeen Estate on which the home lies is one of the most historic properties in the country, being designed by Hugh de Lacy in the 1100s. It's since been thoughtfully redeveloped over the last century, with a spectacular 18-hole Jack Nicklaus designed golf course, clubhouse and beautiful woodland walks.
Heading in to the home itself, you're greeted by a stunning entrance hall that leads into the reception hall. The sitting room and dining room are bright and generously proportioned, being ideal for entertaining. Pic: Loman Dempsey
The heart of the home is the kitchen/family room which boasts high quality cabinetry and appliances. The ground floor of the home is completed by a study, separate snug, pantry, cloakroom and double garage, which then leads easily into the adjoining plant room. Pic: Loman Dempsey
Heading upstairs to the first floor are five of the home's six bedrooms, all of which have en-suite bathrooms and boast excellent wardrobe space. The master bedroom also has a private balcony, while two of the bedrooms also have balcony access. Pic: Loman Dempsey
Heading up the stairs to the second floor is the exceptional additional living space, which includes a cinema room, games room, and storage rooms. The property line also boasts incredible landscaped gardens that enhance its privacy, while the home also boasts lovely views of the Nicklaus-designed golf course. Pic: Loman Dempsey
While the home itself is spectacular, it's all about the location, with Killeen Castle being one of the most incredible historical sites in the country. Being initially built in 1181 by Hugh de Lacy, the home later became the ancestral home of the Plunkett family, the Earls of Fingal, until 1951. The home is located on Killeen Estate, which includes the stunning golf course. Pic: Loman Dempsey
The estate was since carefully redeveloped to become one of the premier locations in the country, with the piece de resistance in the estate being the golf course. Pic: Loman Dempsey
Designed by Jack Nicklaus — one of the greatest to ever tee off — the course was constructed in 2008 and is one of only two designed by 'The Golden Bear' in the country, and is playable 365 days a year, previously hosting the 2011 Solheim Cup and the Irish Ladies Open from 2010 to 2012.

Completing the estate is the wonderful clubhouse with dining and bar facilities, while beautiful woodland walks provide the perfect backdrop to the home.
