The comma helps, but we would say, "a vacant plot of land."

That's correct. I'd almost stake my life on it.

On top of the mountain is a beautiful house. A beautiful house is on top of the mountain. A vacant plot of land is behind his house. He has a vacant plot of land behind his house.

Behind his house is a vacant plot of land. (probably no comma in this case.)

Behind his house, inside the garage, he has a brand new Porsche
