LAND HO !!!

Land. The Ownership of Land has been Men's Dream for many many years.

So, now that I have been in SL for some time now... I too find that I want my own peice of Land. A place to call MINE. A place to call HOME.

So, I have been out searching for LAND.

And I have learned a few things about LAND in SL. Let me tell you what I have learned ! The people here at SL are clever. Clever indeed ! I wondered where they made their money.... and I now know its from LAND ! And there is different types of Land. Private Estates (which are usually Islands) ... and the MAINLAND. The MainLand is Governed under the Rules of Governer Linden, Private Estates are Governed under the Land Owner. MainLand Land is much cheaper... so that is where I am Looking.

SO First off, a person needs a "Premium" accout in order to own land. That costs you. Then you only get a small parcel of land "free" 512 Sq Meters (512 SqM). And its not FREE at all... its free in the sense that you don't have any Maintence Charges for that amount of land. But the More Land you own, the more you are charged Monthly (Land Tier Rates)... and that is on top of the Purchase Price of such land you own.

So, like any good Consumer, I have been looking at land. I looked everywhere.

I found rocky undeveloped land and Grassy Land, but there are several trendy things there that

make the Land Expensive too. I am surprised at the cost of Land on the MainLand. ** The MainLand is Governed by LINDEN and all their rules come into play. EstateLand are more like Private Islands and for me, the cost is way too Prohibitive! So all my searching has been done on MainLand.

So, I have found THREE Parcels of Land I am Thinking Seriously of Purchasing. Each are the Maximum size of 512 SqM as not to raise my Premium Level Costs.

The First I like is at Bla Bheinn 69,79,21 $L 3584 Purchase Price = $L7.00 SqM

Beach Front Property ... with room to grow if I so decide.

The Second I like is at Cotis 196,149,106 $L 2849 Purchase Price = $L5.66 SqM

Again, available lots For Sale all around. I could expand if I so desire. (that is if someone doesn't buy the lots first)

And the Last one I like is Grossglockner 217,117,40 $L1017 Purchase Price = $L2.0 SqM

Again, Room to grow. FYI: Each lot only has ONE Tree on it. In this Pic, there are 4 lots for sale.

So Many Choices. Each one has its own Pros and Cons. I love the Beach... but I also Love the low price... and the room for Expansion if I may decide that. So, what to chose, what to chose...
