A HUGE property in Prahran, Melbourne, listed for sale as an investment, could wind up in the hands of residential developers, cashing in on the current inner-city high density building boom.

The Malon Lodge in tree-lined The Avenue, is expected to sell for about $2 million.

Currently configured as a 24-room special accommodation home, O’Donoghues First National Camberwell’s Fred Barlett is selling Malon Lodge with a lease to the hospital operators until 2013, with renewal options.

The 1260 square metre site is supersized, by inner-city standards, and could yield a project of more than 50 units, sources speculate.

Malon Lodge, at 54 The Avenue, is zoned Residential 1.

Elsewhere in the chic inner-city suburb, a 13,711 square metre site formerly occupied by the Vision Australia is to be redeveloped into a major village after selling to local developer Caydon for $21 million in April.
