Hi,
I'd like a house on water, but sometimes it's just not available or is too expensive. So, I wondered if I can build my own lake. I guess that's the most common question and I know that the answer is generally yes. But, I wondered if the soil type indicated on the property deed can be a sure or at least probable indicator that the chosen site is going to work for a new lake.
One property I'm looking at in southern, middle Georgia is listed as A4 agricultural. One site shows soil productivity rating at 3 while another shows 8. The soil itself appears to be rather sandy. With my limited knowledge of the subject, it seems sand is not a good thing for lake building. Suggestions?

Thanks.
