I just got back from Virginia, unfortunatly we really did not see any property that met all of our criteria for a home site and a pond site. But thanks to the help that I have gotten from your comments and other things that I have read on this excellent site, I was able to determine that the sites were not good ones. The real estate agent really did not have any idea, I had to educate him. There was one site with a one acre pond, but it really could not be expanded(contrary to what the agent thought), plus it had trees growing out of the back side, top and pond side of the dam, which I have read is not a good thing. Thanks for all the help, I am still looking.
