Work Starts On Second Phase Of Deer Pines Development

Muir Homes has begun construction on the second phase of its Deer Pines development in Stanley, Perthshire, after the first phase sold out completely ahead of schedule.

The next stage will see 25 new private homes added, with strong off-plan sales already reported.

Located just seven miles from Perth and set within its own forest on the banks of the River Tay, The Deer Pines offers buyers the rare chance to enjoy peaceful woodland living without sacrificing access to major transport routes and urban amenities.

The first phase featured a carefully planned mix of homes, including a significant number of bungalows. These proved especially popular, reflecting a growing demand for single-storey, age-inclusive housing alongside spacious family homes. The success of this approach supports Muir Homes’ wider commitment to increasing its bungalow offerings.

The second phase offers a selection of two-, three-, four-, and five-bedroom homes designed for modern living. Among the options is the two-bedroom 'Fraser'—a stylish semi-detached bungalow with an open-plan kitchen and lounge, two bathrooms, and a starting price of £239,995. At the top end, the five-bedroom 'Dalmeny' features an en-suite, two additional bathrooms, a spacious dining kitchen, double garage, and a high-spec German kitchen, starting from £314,000.

Designed for flexibility and long-term comfort, the homes prioritise spacious, stair-free living and are located close to supermarkets, quality schools, and GP practices—offering convenience as well as tranquility.

Ash Sheikh, Sales and Marketing Director at Muir Homes, said: "The Deer Pines has proven incredibly popular with homebuyers thanks to its tranquil setting, fantastic transport links and choice of homes suited to buyers at all life stages. We’re already seeing strong off-plan interest in this second phase of the development, so we encourage anyone considering a move to act quickly.

"With homes nestled in their own woodland surroundings and stunning river views, this development offers something genuinely special and a lifestyle that combines countryside calm with everyday convenience."
