The price of getting a new pond dug will really shock most folks. I got a 10,000 yard square pond dug and it cost $15,000. If I was buying some property I would look for property that already has ponds/ lakes established on it. Most folks have no idea how much money it takes to build a pond and you'll get more bang for the buck by renovating an existing pond as opposed to building a new one. If you have the money try to purchase a property that has a soil conservation like on it. Some of those dams would cost well over 1/2 million to build now.
