A friend has a "pond" that varies between 70 and 100+ acres depending on the rainfall.

It might be cheaper to buy property with a pond that size already on the property, but you'd need to figure in the pond management costs on top if it to get the way that you want it.

My buddy figures that the dam alone would cost over 1 million in today's dollars to build.
