Congrats! Beautiful place and definitely something to look forward to returning home to!

I second Scott's suggestion on Greg. Get him involved and get talking about your goals. Like Scott said, Greg can have the pond well on its way by the time you are home for good.

You may also want to consider finding someone local that you can trust and establishing an arrangement with them to be your local eyes on a very regular basis so the risk of anything really bad happening there is minimized. Knowing someone is regularly on the land - even daily if they are very close - goes a long way to discouraging all but the most determined ne'er do wells.

Congrats again! Keep us posted on what you choose to do there!
