With those restrictions, IMO you will likely have to build a pond on your best found property. Before pulling the trigger make sure the ground has good pond building soil and subsoil. Buying an existing pond IMO is a good way to actually buy some headaches because you do not know the history of the pond and how it was built. Lots of ponds look very good from or on the top but numerous problems occur or can/will occur later underwater due to poor construction methods. You dig a hole but build a pond. Know the difference. Build it right and correctly from the beginning and the long term results will be much more rewarding.

Here is your homework. Read, reread and study them well and your results will make the property a valuable asset.
