...and then there was land..


After finding our 'dream home' the hunt was on yet again, this time for a block of land.
Not sure whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to have the house first...all we knew was that we needed a wide block to fit our house on, plus it needed to have some length in it for Mia to romp in.
Our Sales Consultant suggested Wallan as they had some House/Land package up there in a new Estate. He wasn't kidding when he said 'new'.
We showed us the subdivision plan for Stage 1 and let us know which blocks would be available through them. Originally we rejected the block we ended up chosing as it was on a "T intersection", unfortunately all the other blocks they had available were not big enough. So we hummed and harred and then thought about it some more and decided that 'yep' it would be okay.
Took a drive down to the Estate to talk turkey with the Land Sales Agent. At this stage in the game we could not take a look at the block, as it wasn't there yet....thats right it was non existant, all she said was.."it's over in that direction, somewhere".

She told us what was planned for the Estate...class A recycled water, shopping center, schools (not that we need them), a off/on ramp to the Hume Hwy (eventually), etc.
We went home and had a big think on it....what really sold it for us was the fact that we would have a park over the road from us....somewhere to take Mia for a run .
We went back a few days later and paid a holding deposit on our chosen block...Yay!!
Next step.....house
