Try and use the poor existing condition of the pond as a good reason to make some amount of lower counter offer because of the pond's devaluation (poor condition) because owners did not take proper care of the pond. Now, any new owner has to pay for the current owner's pond neglect, thus they should accept a lower price.

A good contractor with proper compaction equipment can breach the dam and implement your rebuild ideas. Before you finalize the sale try and get at least one reputable contractor to give you a work dollar estimate so you have a rough idea what it will cost.
