OMG. Perfect retirement home.

So I've been kicking around the idea of putting in a pond at the farm. I was advised on another forum to give pondboss.com a look and spend some time there so i dont waste my time and money and end up with a swamp.

Fair enough I think. A bit of thought and planning never hurt in projects like this. So I was browsing through pondboss reading about others ideas thoughts and ponds and came across this.

Sweet Jesus. Thats incredible. Honestly I'd be fairly happy with it as is with the stream and small pond already on the property.
By the time I got to page 3 I was jst in awe. That place is incredible! I cant wait to see the house when its done. The guy could literally sit at his kitchen table, open the door and fish.

Amazing!

Pretty damn cool. I'll definitely be interested to see it finished.

You and me both! Its given me some ideas though for my place. Granted the house is already built but still. The biggest complaint of my farm is no water nearby. No rivers, lakes, streams, nothing for quite a ways. I want a pond to change that. I want a place to fish and relax.

If I had a place like what they will have, I honestly dont think I'd ever leave except to buy groceries.

He certainly won't have to mow the lawn.

Well, first post, first sentence... "My dad and I purchased"

Its cool to see a family that still stays close like this and does things on this scale together.

 

[Miklebud]

Wow! He's got a house IN the water! LOL, that's great! That sure is a whole lot of work put into that project!

I would guess, and its a WILD guess, 1/2 to 3/4 of a million for it all.

 

[amdskip]

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

 

[everman]

Wow that looks like a fun project.

I'm thinking it was probably more than that.

Some people should learn to link thumbnails instead of the original, it was created for a reason...

 

[BlackTigers]

That is absolutely awesome.

80 acre farm with stream in Kansas = $100K to $200K
Build a pond = $50K to $100K

Modest 1600 sq. ft DIY house = $150K

What it could sell for afterward? That's a different story.

Awesome is not a good enough word.
That is way beyond awesome.

 

[pstylesss]

Now I want that... That's going on my list of things to accomplish. I love the idea.
