I recently moved to a 1/4 of a homestead sim. It gives me a lot of space and privacy. However,  to landscape and furnish that much space with only 933 prims was challenging. I definitely ran out of prims and would probably have done more inside and outside with more prims, but I think its kind of pretty as it is. I love the spaces that I created. So come on over and peak around my La Galleria home. All are welcome. Here is an aerial view of the entire space. 

The landscaping was done almost exclusively with Studio Skye materials. I love everything in that store. Now that I have used them and landscaped my own area with them as I go around SL I am noticing at least some Studio Skye element is everywhere, in every sim. I certainly loved using their materials in my own home. They are the prettiest landscaping sets I have ever seen and they are mesh so great on prims.

In the picture above you can see how the tree tunnel leads directly to the far left side of the beach and the back of our beautiful house with its upper and lower porches facing the sea. And in the next picture you can see a side sweep from the right of our gorgeous beach area.
