We own 25 acres of land - all is in pasture or riding arena, barn etc (have horses). There is a 25 acre tract of land beside us that we have the opportunity to purchase. This land is in a Flood zone, does have some slight hills (we are in eastern NC, so pretty flat). Right now it has trees, but the land has a logging contract and will be logged sometime within the next 12 months.
In looking at purchasing this property we are likely going to refinance our existing farm, and am wondering how much $ we will need to build a pond. Ideally my husband would like something about 2 acres. With Bass and whatever other fish should be stocked with it. I do not think that we would have the dirt hauled off, but moved to another part of the property where I would like a hill for a cross country course (horse talk).
So any ideas on what an undertaking like this would cost, or anyone in Eastern NC that does this work?
I know that I saw a post years ago where someone had a pond dug by the loggers who came in.
Thanks for your input/advice
