John,
Sorry to see this but it looks like it could have been worse as in serious property building damage, injuries etc.
Hey that's one beautiful "pond" although it looks more like a small lake to me. How many acres?
What we call "strip pits" around here. The remains from coal strip mining from many years ago before land reclaimation became mandatory.
Used to be you could not give that type property away. Now it is highly sought after recreation property that often times will bring as much as prime farm land.
This is a particularly nice property.
