[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]#1 pond is not a flood zone so I’m not so worried about it. My main concern would be the shared driveway, and being behind another house. I like the house for a new build. Not a huge lot for the price though.

#2 I hate the house, it’s on a main road and I don’t like GT Pike. [/quote]

Mother Nature does not respect flood zones.  Plus, that flood zone was probably determined before they disturbed all of the soil to dig out a lower level and put a house and pavement.  Ponding indicates poor drainage.  They should install a pole and hang a huge red flag out front.  Buyer beware.[/quote]

+1. But who’s says the builder hasn’t already mitigated with a French drain etc. [/quote]

Look at the edges of the pond, there isn't a bank.  It's a place that water collects at the bottom of a slope and can no longer drain because the ground is saturated.  Where is a french drain going to drain?  But you bring up a great point.  Before plunking down 4 million, you should ask about the origin and stormwater management plan for any bodies of water near your home.  That water does not look like a maintained water feature, it looks like an overgrown mud puddle.

Okay fuddy duddy!

That pond is very well maintained and beloved.  Treated regularly for insects.  [/quote]
