Description
A Tailored Home, Built Around You
Welcome to Balvaird Rise, an exclusive development by Prestige Properties offering just three individually designed homes on the edge of Muir of Ord. Plot 2 presents a rare opportunity to create a truly bespoke home, crafted to your exact specifications, without the stress of managing a self-build.

A Rare Opportunity for Bespoke Highland Living
Balvaird Rise offers a unique chance to own a luxury bespoke home built to the highest standards and tailored to your personal taste. Whether you're seeking a forever family home or a refined Highland retreat, this is your opportunity to create something truly special.
LOCATION: Muir of Ord is a well-connected village in the heart of the Black Isle, just 15 miles from Inverness city centre. The village offers a range of everyday amenities including shops, a primary school, and excellent transport links — including a mainline rail station with direct services to Inverness, within 25 minutes. Families are well served by the local schooling network, with Tarradale Primary School in the village and Dingwall Academy a short drive away, for which a school bus is provided. The surrounding countryside provides outstanding opportunities for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits, with the Beauly Firth and Black Isle peninsula on the doorstep. Inverness Airport is approximately 20 minutes by car, with access to domestic and international flights.
SERVICES: Mains electricity, water and drainage. Air source heat pump powers underfloor heating. Connection for telephone and broadband.
RESERVATION FEE: There is a £5000 non refundable reservation fee, followed by a £20,000 deposit upon conclusion of missives of the land purchase. Both payments will be deducted off the land purchase price of £90.000.
