Another thing of note is just like good landscaping vs. bad landscaping. If the pond is positioned in such a way that it adds beauty to the view from the home, it will add value. If it is stuck in a back corner someplace, or otherwise inconvenient location, it will detract or do nothing.

On another note: If an avid fisherman were to be house shopping, and came across a well stocked pond with large fish... who knows what that will pull! Considering some of these fisherman think little of dropping 10K+ on a boat purely for fishing, it says a lot about the type of person you can sell a home with a pond to.

Also it may be worth spending some money on a pond if it can be a reasonable asset before putting it on the market. Say it is overgrown with weeds and algae. Give it a *proper* treatment to knock down the weeds so it appears better, and will be worth more... just like a fresh coat of paint.
