Also, try to determine the average depth, and how much silt is in the pond. You can do both by probing with a pole from a boat. You may have found either a gem or a nightmare.

Inspect and verify everything yourself. Don't take a seller's or realtor's word for anything.

Try to look on Google Earth at past images, to see if the pond drops or goes dry.

After you buy and close, there will be no recourse against them.

Verify, verify, verify!
