I would consider a 6 acre pond a great resource as long as the dam is solid and does not represent a liability if it brakes. Take your time and investigate the pond (depth, plant growth through the year, and currently stocked fish, etc.). Plant life need not be seen as a problem depending on what you enjoy seeing. I maintain a natural edge with plants we chose and with initial removal of undesirable plants like cattail and willow trees. Maintenance on my mature ponds is very low and costs can be kept down by propagating your own plants. Most important is to enjoy the process and what you are lucky enough to have!
