Capital Gain

I had sold my house in May 2008  and purchased a plot in NOv 2008 availing exemption under SEc 54, on this plot a house was constructed and completed in May 2011 (within the three year period) now in July 2011 , I have sold this property for which the sale deed shall be executed in Nov 2011. The capital gain shall be around 40.00 lacs. will this gain be a short term gain or a long term gain. In case I want to save this capital gain tax , will buying a house/plot  save this tax. Please clarify. Thanks in advance

I think it is correct that it will be STCG only.
