How to Expand Your Farm Land in Starsand Island
Expand land in Starsand Island: unlock Buy Land at Island Life Junior Talent, then buy Hopeland plots with Coins and Starsand, full prices for all four sites.
Last verified: September 30, 2026 — Game version: Starsand Island 1.09.7731 (September 23, 2026). Facts come from official Steam news, the community wiki, and dated player reports.
You expand land with the Buy Land app. It unlocks at Island Life rank Junior Talent. There are four purchasable sites. Hopeland is first: you own the center plot and buy the other eight with coins plus Starsand.
The Four Sites (current prices)
Old websites still list Blue Beach at 2,000,000 and Cloudrest at 6,000,000. Patch 0.3.2537 swapped those two. Use this table. It was rechecked against build 1.09.7731 — the September 2026 patches did not change expansion gates or prices.
| Site | Island Life gate | Cost | Size / note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hopeland (8 extra plots) | Junior Talent | See plot table | 30×30 each; you start with the center |
| Cloudrest Lake | Home Builder | 2,000,000 coins + 600 Starsand | 80×80 |
| Blue Beach | Bright Star | 6,000,000 coins | 180×180; amusement-park layout only here |
| Windflute Island | Starsand Legend | 10,000,000 coins + 850 Starsand | Whole island plus some water |
Blue Beach is 6,000,000 coins. Reliable wiki pages do not list an extra Starsand fee. The 500 Starsand you see on Bright Star is a rank reward after buying Cloudrest, not the price of Blue Beach. Do not write “Blue Beach costs 500 Starsand.”
Hopeland Plot Prices
| Plot | Coins | Starsand |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2,000 | 50 |
| 2 | 15,000 | 75 |
| 3 | 30,000 | 90 |
| 4 | 50,000 | 130 |
| 5 | 75,000 | 160 |
| 6 | 100,000 | 200 |
| 7 | 130,000 | 250 |
| 8 | 160,000 | 300 |
Want a floating home instead of another dirt plot? That is the Houseboat, gated at Bright Star → Trade Whiz.
Quick Answers
How do I unlock Buy Land? Reach Island Life rank Junior Talent. Before that the app is not available yet.
Why can’t I buy land yet? Either you are below Junior Talent, or you are aiming at a site beyond your rank: Cloudrest needs Home Builder, Blue Beach needs Bright Star, and Windflute needs Starsand Legend.
Does Blue Beach cost 500 Starsand? No. Blue Beach costs 6,000,000 coins and nothing else. The 500 Starsand figure people repeat is a rank reward unlocked after buying Cloudrest.
Can I enlarge a plot instead of buying more? No — sizes are fixed. Expansion in Starsand Island means buying additional plots or sites; the table above lists each size.
