Hi me again.
Was up at Wallan on the weekend and called in at the new estate to get a price list just as a matter of interest.
It's called Wallara Waters, an Australand development and is walking distance to the train station. It's also basically flat and not a whole lot of rock from what I can see. Not sure on soil type. (We are M but we are a few k's away)
It's actually going to be quite big eventually with a public and a Catholic primary school, retirement village and shopping centre. Apparently there will be another on/off ramp to the Hume to service the estate.
There will be a 20 house display village with M3tricon, Burbank and many other builders going in. (Simonds are 80% confirmed apparently.)
As a future Wallan resident the display village is particularly interesting because the big boys only go in where there will be big growth.
Makes my block look better and better.
Anyway I thought you may be interested in pricing. I know land prices are putting the squeeze on a lot of us.... so this could be of interest to people who are able to go a bit further out. I know when we were looking we were priced out of some areas because we wanted a big block. So this might be helpful for some people. I think they are great value.
These are some sample prices.
