WOW again a ton of information. The property that my wife and I are looking at has a number of challenges the pond that has been dug out would be one of them. The pond is too big for the property and takes up to much of the primary spot for a home so we are going to pass.
The priority is finding a great property for my wife and I to enjoy. Our ideal property would have enough land and the right type of topography, soil etc. to build a pond on it, but the house, location etc is the primary motivation and if I am lucky enough to find an ideal piece of land within budget and put a pond on it we will be very happy.

When we find a piece and own it I will then look at what options if any to put in a pond that complements the land and the home.

Thanks everyone for the awesome input. I will be on this forum a lot and will continue to ask questions!!
