This thread is bad idea jeans. If you limit it to parcels that are currently owned, then fine, but showing ones that haven't been released is only going to make them harder to get. I normally wouldn't care, but since you've posted one of my coveted parcels, this now impacts me directly...not that I would get it on initial release anyway.
While I appreciate that it can be hard seeing a dream parcel you wanted highlighted on this thread - & one of mine was pictured as well - I really love this idea. There are so many wonderful spots in Bellisseria & I’m still constantly surprised when someone posts a spot I haven’t seen before. We can all dream of getting that perfect house & it’s amazing to see the differences in people’s dreams.

Party on!
Oh, and does anyone have an idea as to what those red stripes are, off the coast of Barneys? Kinda thin for docks.
I’m hoping bridges made of shimmering light - a perfect way to arrive in a fantasy location filled with lights.

The important thing to mention in this thread is that Patch has announced a FIRST for Linden Homes! The Fantasy Home theme will feature scripted, seasonal landscaping! Follow the link above for pics.
Thank you Nika. How exciting is seasonal landscaping! I might just have to dip my toe back into Bellasaria again.

I love this new theme! The landscaping is so beautiful & I’m loving the roof lights. I’ve always wished the old Linden fantasy region looked better & this is more like I imagined it could have looked. Well done to all the moles involved. You’ve made a lovely job of what could have been a very difficult theme.

I can be petty at times & I’d be either blocking her view from your side with a giant screen or putting up the most hideous landscape I could think of. I’ve used screens at times when the view needed blocking but they were always transparent to the neighbours. I’d derender anything you don’t want to see & wait her out. If you can’t see it you can’t be annoyed by it & that takes away whatever power she mistakenly thinks she has.

Patch’s quote is from Disney if I remember correctly. The next theme could be Vikings/Medieval themed. Certainly fantasy would fit in there. However, it’s a quote from the Epcot centre so it could even be be future/space. I’m looking forward to finding out.

So the original question was ‘how many chalets is enough’? Trying to follow instructions & keep on topic I’d say it’s like saying ‘how long is a piece of string’ or ‘how much coastal mainland is enough’? Only the people involved can answer that. The Lindens have provided homes. We all want that perfect spot but they aren’t miracle workers & they can’t cater for each & every one of us. I have one Linden home that some would love, some would not. I can see why house hoarding annoys but the reality is if you could afford it you’d probably do it too, just to find that perfect house. Nothing lasts forever. One day they’ll get bored & move on.

The chalets are starting to grow on me. While I wouldn't go so far as to say I love them, I dont dislike them anymore.
I think that whether or not the chalet neighborhood appeals to you is a matter of which region you are on and which location you get within that region.
Drumlin, for example, is a pleasant region. It just filled up recently. The area is a bit more hilly and there is comfortable space between most of the houses. That neighborhood feels pleasant to me.
I’m in Drumlin. I like it there. You can tell my house - just look for the Tudor tower. No matter what else gets built I’m keeping my river view!

The same situation existed for the Log Homes. I've not really looked back there, but were the extra regions filled with trees and tracks, more homes, or a mix?
Whatever happened there is likely to be repeated.
Some of the Southern coastline for log homes, where it does come down to the water - instead of having waterfront log homes, got victorians. In other places log homes are adjacent to the coast, but on the top of a cliff. But on the interior river side regions that were 'empty' when the log homes first came out, I'm not sure what they did.
EDIT:
It looks like they are adding homes up to the water's edge in the log homes regions:
So I would expect the same pattern in the Chalet regions, though it might take all the way till 2022 to fill in...
I had a log home on the big lake. There was space in front for a house but the Moles put in a road & plants. It looked really pretty when it was finished. If they want to put a train station in front of my chalet I wouldn’t complain 😁.

Anyone want to provide their best guesses as to what will happen on the edges of that big unfinished channel (I think Nika called it Magellan?) ...I am conflicted whether to keep this chalet, in Bergochzheit, http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Berghochzeit/250/113/23 it is right on the edge of the Running Bear region which includes the big river, the island, a rez zone and that boat! The view from here is just amazing, you can see the Inn and all the special mole landscaping (I don't mind cranking my draw distance up for THIS view!). But...I believe there is room for one more row of houses before the water. Anyway, posting these pix cause it is very scenic!!
I have the same thing. My home currently looks over the water but there is room for another home between me & the river. I’m keeping it as it’s on the railway side so I’m really interested to see what happens. I’ve had a look at the few developed areas on the river & there is some lovely landscaping, bays, islands etc so anything could happen.

Logged in for a few to chance my gambling arm & rolled a chalet in Drumlin Farm. Corner allotment, no front neighbour, pond & park on the side across the road so no neighbours there & it’s a little way back from the big river with nothing currently there to block my view. There’s room for another house but for now I’m keeping it & seeing what happens. There are still nice homes out there. Just don’t get disheartened.

I understand the addiction element of GOH. I used to be that way about my avatar. I started way back & once I discovered I could be anyone, look like anything I was hooked. I’m sure I was very annoying to anyone who didn’t have much money as I never wore the same thing twice, always had to be the ‘first’ with things (my original avi still has the first mesh skirt & top to hit the grid) & don’t get me started on what happened when mesh heads & bodies landed. Some people collect mesh heads, some people collect houses. It just happens that this group is about houses & so we feel the impact more. I stopped being upset about it long ago. The person involved seems to have an addiction & for that I feel sorry for them. We’ve all been there - the lure of the perfect house, the perfect look. Currently I’ve been in the same outfit for about 2 months. Two weeks ago I lost my shoes & haven’t bothered finding them again. I wander the grid barefoot. Addictions can pass, we move on to other things & life goes on. That old (relatively) saying ‘Don’t hate the player, hate the game’ is apt here. If we are getting so upset by one person’s behaviour then maybe we need to assess our own. I appreciate each & every person who contributes to these forums. You’ve all made my year long lockdown a better & more fun place.

Random pictures from my newest home that I'm still working on, in Campbell coast; I've had the place for almost 3 months but didn't feel inspired to work on it, until I found this Bailey cottage from Trompe loeil in my inventory and immediately I got ideas!
.thumb.jpg.c4ef134d6f73010242cc1cbe6bc6617f.jpg)
created a little secret forest behind my home, the waterfall doesn't look very good but I'll work on it last thing, after I'm done with everything else ( if you wanna locate my home, look for the biggest waterfall in the area, and you will find it : b )
.thumb.jpg.d1683caea38620809885d20d8739421e.jpg)
Your parcel is right behind mine. I loved your waterfall idea so put my own smaller one in a bit below it.

OW going in Ringing Palms in about 5 minutes. West facing, nice sailing water going past. Pics are to show how close surrounding houses are (sorry my decor was still up when taken).

Oh I didn't realize the croc was making noise... I should disable that...
I probably set that ages ago and forgot about it. If the land's keeping sound inside the plot it wouldn't matter but if the land's set to broadcast then it would be a nuissance I need to fix. 😮
He was ok & I’ve heard worse - a lot worse. Sometimes when I can’t sleep I will get on SL & decorate for awhile. The first time it roared at me in the middle of the night I almost had an accident so in the interest of the soft furnishings I had to make him silent. 😁

A year and almost 3 months...
And I am still sitting on these 2 plots and unable to decide.
Fishtown:
- + Great open access for both sailing and views
- + Very quiet area, mild neighbors - this can change of course
- + More interesting things nearby. The lighthouse and of course Mordor (that giant linden island north of here)... 😉
- - There are 2 G-rated regions of water withing a region's distance. Keep in mind I'm an SL-nudist so, actually, I can't sail north-east of here.
- - An alt owns this. That means if I toss it, I can casually look for a new spot until the account bill comes up and then take whichever alt has the 'worst spot' back to basic.
- - I spend less time in this one. But maybe that's just because the alt owns it?
Coral Bay:
- + Great view to the south with wide open sailing in all M regions.
- + Cute sheltered hill around me. I'm in a small bay.
- + My swampy build fits in. But am I crowding myself.
- - My neighbor feels a bit "too close". This has been true both when I like and when I dislike their builds - so it's just the distance that bugs me.
- - One neighbor nearby has a wall that is maybe 1% transparent. Result is windlight gets confused if I look in that direction.
- - If I toss this one, then my 'main' will be in that mode where "I MUST HAVE A SPOT NOW !!!" and I will either go nuts looking or trying to buy 1024m of land "somewhere" because the number on 'tier available' won't be 0 and OCD takes over...
I'm pretty much 100% sure that the moment I make a choice, regardless of which, I will regret it... but it's pretty stupid of me that I've held on to both for so long...
My vote is for Coral Bay. I had the corner trad above the park for awhile & loved your swamp theme (although I had to mute your crocodile cause he was scary). It’s unique & a fantastic spot.

I've just picked up a lakeside log at Quickdraw. No other homes seem to be taken & there are some beautiful big lake plots here. May be worth chancing a throw on a log home if that's your taste.

I know my décor isn't for everyone, but sad? I'm not fishing for compliments, just confused by this reaction.
Maybe it’s a sad face because your deco is beautiful & they feel sad they haven’t got a house like yours. I’d like an Envious button sometimes as there are so many amazing decorators that post here.

Has anyone else had an issue with their windows looking blue when they are supposed to be uncovered? like this
Is there a fix for this?
I’ve had this as well. My first stilt home I thought it was how they’d built the windows & couldn’t understand why. Then I discovered if I tp out & back again it was fixed. Hopefully someone has a better idea than ping ponging around the grid.

Thanks everyone for the updates. I’m surprised by the speed they’re going & am watching with interest. I thought my void view might last a few months but if they keep building like this I’ll be getting neighbors very soon.

I just rented a nice mainland parcel on a lake and I need to buy a house for it. The house must be modern and open concept. Trompe Loeil makes some beauties, but the upstairs bedroom areas have walls, separate rooms, and lots of doors, so they are out.
Can anyone suggest a builder of comparable quality and Li that are modern and open?
Scarlet Creative has some homes that might suit. They’ve recently released an open, double A framed house with lots of glass to take in views.

Love the Fantasy Regions, but....
in Linden Homes
Posted
I’m in the same boat. I love the night in the fantasy region. It’s what makes the area so special but the times I can log in to SL mean it’s always daytime. I’ve yet to see my home at night. I’ve put off decorating as I need to see how things look in the night but I’m starting to think it’s time to just give up.
