You also have to consider the seller's mindset.

If they are not into ponds/water, they will not see an existing pond/water as any reason to charge more for the given piece of land.

Not speaking for everyone here, but if any of us were trying to sell our land w/ pond, we would be factoring in the "value" of our pond in the sale price, and more importantly, be looking for a buyer with similar interests.
