One option sell and purchase different property before building the house.

Second option; do a swimming pool instead.

Third option down size (?) the pond and manage it as a glorified wetlands. Winter aerate far end shallow, ice skate on end closest to house, and hope for minimal winter kills. YP do tolerate low DO and cold temps thus you may have success with them. Use SMB and a few WE as predators of YP.
