Did you take it over on an adventure (in which case, it's free)?

I don't see a need to define a base as part of your character. You just need to explain the resources you called upon to get a base.
Yes, but what if the character is Struggling (because the player wants such a character) and still has a base? There would be no way for him to get it out of GURPS dollars and Wealth.
So maybe he gained it through previous adventuring, as you say. But that might be not during the current campaign, it may have happened before character creation. And - in that case, there is a GURPS catch-all advantage for that sort of thing: Unusual Background.
It's a general GURPS principle, anyway, that you can spend character points to make up for dollars, if you wish. It's handy for this sort of character concept.
