In Flannery Court, a long court off Tindals Road, Warrandyte, is a vacant lot made for those who like to get away from it all. From the city (about 20 kilometres), from the neighbors (no high-rise towers here) and even from the railway station - the closest, Nunawading, is about 7.5 kilometres as the crow flies, and further by road.
But that's how they like it in Warrandyte, where houses are generally large and allotments are always spacious.
The land for sale at 115-117 Flannery Court, for example, weighs in at about 4048 square metres, or an acre, by the "old" measure. It is an elevated corner lot in the company of similar blocks, with views overlooking the undulating landscape.
Flannery Court is close to the Mullum Mullum Reserve and Donvale Pony Club, and not too far from the Pines Shopping Centre and the Eastern Freeway. Schools in the area include Andersons Creek Primary School, Warrandyte High School and the Doncaster campus of the Box Hill Institute of TAFE.
The allotment at 115-117 Flannery Court is to be auctioned at 1pm Saturday, December 1, by Fletchers (9836 2222), when it is expected to fetch $250,000-plus.
