Shawn we hired legendary pond builder Mike Otto for a pre-purchase inspection. Mike wrote the book "Just Add Water" about ponds. Mike is also one of the founders of Pond Boss. We felt much better after Mike walked the property with us and examined our ponds, dams, our pond drainage, our water-shed and then told us "you're good to go" to purchase this property. Sounds like your new property will not be very far from Mike.
