Howdy, lowlife, and welcome to the Forum.

You have the most road frontage I've ever heard of on a spaghetti ranch! As Rainman noted, ensuring vehicles don't accidentally get from the road to the pond will be important. At least you are on the inside of the curve.

Don't get in a hurry to hire an excavator, including your ground-clearing guy, to do a pond until you find some with pond experience.

Local info here or in 'Bama should have the low down on your soil's suitablity for ponds. Try your local NRCS office.
