Land itself can not be said a residential house.
.
For claiming exemption U/s 54F, subject to certain conditions, purchase or construction of new residential house is required.
.
When the construction work is carried on, is more important here.
.
If you have purchased earlier, cost of land will not be eligible, but construction carried on later after sale of capital asset will qualify for exemption.
.
If land is purchased subsequently, it's cost can also be considered for exemption.
