If I were you I wouldn't buy it. If it has sentimental value though the money for fixing the pond would be worth it.

First off tell all other people to stop stocking! This will ensure no more future problems. Second, kill the carp. Either get a fish to do it, bowfish, or net them out. Kill the grass carp just the same, they aren't helping the lake. Flathead catfish or muskie/ tiger muskie will eat the carp but also other fish so maybe take most of them out when the carp are gone. Leave 1-5 muskie just for the fun of it.

Just my 2 cents, I'm no expert.
Also you should figure out what else is in the pond. Try to fish or net out some fish to see what's in there.
