PlotDescription
A rural plot of approximately 0.89 acres at Muir of Tarradale, on the Black Isle, with open views across the surrounding countryside. The land includes an existing stone-built bothy, which is to be demolished under the approved scheme.
Full planning permission was granted on 15 December 2025 for a detached three-bedroom, two-bathroom house with an integral garage. The design was prepared by Ness Homes, an Inverness-based bespoke housebuilder. The plot is currently unserviced, although services are understood to be available nearby. Planning details and approved drawings can be found on The Highland Council portal under reference 24/02973/FUL.
Muir of Ord is nearby and has a supermarket, café, pharmacy, doctor’s surgery and railway station. The primary school is at Mulbuie, around one mile away, with secondary schooling and further amenities in Dingwall. Inverness provides wider city facilities and an airport. The surrounding area offers rural recreation and wildlife, while the west coast is described as less than an hour’s drive away.

Confidence: LOW
This is a land-and-build project rather than a house renovation: the 0.89-acre plot has open rural views and the listing states that full planning permission has been granted for a detached three-bedroom home with an integral garage. The existing bothy is due to be demolished under the scheme, leaving scope to deliver the approved design in this countryside setting. The plot is overgrown, and services are understood to be nearby but it is currently unserviced, so consent, conditions, connections and build feasibility merit checking.
Key opportunities
- Use the approved plans for a detached three-bedroom home with an integral garage as the starting point for creating a new dwelling.
- Shape the 0.89-acre plot and its open farmland and distant-hill views into a rural home setting.
- The existing bothy is to be demolished under the approved scheme, allowing the project to focus on the new build rather than retaining the small structure.
Key risks
- Demolishing the bothy and delivering a new detached house on an unserviced, overgrown plot is a substantial build programme and budget commitment, not a cosmetic refresh; confirm service connections and delivery feasibility.
- Verify the planning consent, conditions and approved plans, and establish the cost and availability of nearby services.
