Hi there!
I have been without a home in the time I have used SL on and off, but now I am using it more seriously and would like to buy land to create my own home, which I would also use for parties.
My question is this:
What's the cheapest way for me to have the following:
1) Private land where I can make the entire landspace or at least the building invite-only.
2) Land including or near water (near a lake, river, sea or brook would be great, an island would be ideal but it seems like islands are always expensive? Are there also abandoned islands that are cheaper?)
So far the Premium Membership seems like the best deal seeing as you get a stipend as part of that membership. I'm not too fussed about having a customisable home, so the Linden Homes seem like a good option but it's unclear to me whether or not these homes have an entire block of private land. I'm also okay with the maximum capacity being around 120 which is what I think Linden Homes are?
It seems like a premium membership home is a relatively cheap option with no monthly maintanence fee for land ownership.
If you reply: Thank you so much for your help!
For those curious about my motivation, I feel like this current time is a great time to get more people interested in SL and is a major motivating factor/concurrent condition to my motivation to buy land in SL.
