Waltham Wow: $660K Buys Land, No House

WALTHAM, MA — If you were ever just wondering, with the price of housing edging up and up even in Waltham, how much it would cost to buy a plot of land like the old days and build up, well. Here's your answer. More than a half a million dollars. That could be because it's on waterfront property.

Take a look at what the realtor has to say about it, but you be the judge:

• Address: Knollwood Dr Lot 21, Waltham, Massachusetts
• Price: $660,000
• Square Feet: 7,650
• Features: Conservation approved and ready for construction! When the convenience of urban living meets the serenity of a uniquely sited, nature-filled waterfront locale, the combination is pure bliss. Rarely available waterfront land on the quiet Charles River Lakes Region near the Newton/Weston/Waltham line. Boasting amazing views of the river and wildlife, build your own dream home and go kayaking after work or simply unwind with the view. 1/2 mile to train, 1 mile to Brandeis and less than 2 miles to 95 and the Mass Pike. This truly is a gem and a true oasis for anyone who wants to “get away” without actually leaving the city. Located between 67 & 85 Knollwood Drive this lot is 100 feet wide, much larger than it may look from the street.
