We just moved to a house which backs on two "sometimes" ponds and a golf course. Usually small ponds. However with all the rain, currently there is quite a lot of water. We love the privacy and watching the birds. I think a "view" lot is worth every penny.
I don't mind frogs and snakes (although I haven't seen any). However I have a deathly fear of gators.
The neighbours tell me in five years they haven't seen a gator in this area.
I'm hoping the ponds are too small and if gators do come through the pipes, they won't stay around. I think gators are dormant when it is cold. I'm told you can hear the gators "talking" at night when they're active. If I see a gator, there will be a "for sale" sign on the lawn the next morning!
