I ythought I needed a pond but maybe a swimming pond - I'm interested in geothermal and a swimming pond, but don't know what to ask.. I live in South Bend, IN. Was just thinking a fish pond that I would swim in but we don't care that much about fish. Can you tell me how big (surface area) the pond is please? I'm guessing it is deep right off the deck and shallows near the waterfall, right?

The foundation has a very sophisticated waterproofing and drainage system and the pond is lined. The pond is 20' deep in the center and under and acre of surface area, you can dive off of deck into pond and it shallows a bit on the other edges.

bikingteach, for reference, one-third of an acre is about the size of an olympic swimming pool. The attached photo may give you more reference.

Fantastic! - Was the pond existing? If not how was it made? Prior to house build or before or in conjunction? Is it spring fed? Lined? If so with what? What type of maintenance? Thanks!

Thank you. The pond was built in conjunction with the home, is lined, and also used as a thermal mass for the geothermal heating system. Minimal maintenance and quite the fishery as well...

The pond is used as a thermal mass for a geothermal heating system, a trout fishery and for swimming and recreation on Summer and winter days.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

Becky Harris added this to Houzz Tour: Rustic Cabin With Dive-In Pond
A large part of the construction is this man-made pond, which is part of a system of four ponds on the property. Its 20-foot depth means it can serve as a geothermal mass that heats the home in winter, using very little energy. The man-made ponds are contained and are completely separate from the natural watershed.
Katherine Caviness added this to 8 Pool Water Features That Venture Into Fantasy
Another example of utilizing the terrain is this water feature, which fits perfectly into the landscape. This naturalistic swimming pool has a meandering water feature that blends with its surroundings.See more of this house and swim-up pond

21. Rustic Cabin With Dive-In PondDesigned to look like an old, rustic cabin, this brand-new build in Montana is actually a platinum LEED-certified home. Set on the shores of a pristine lake, the beautiful space has a man-made 20-foot diving pond right out front — carefully designed to stay separate from the natural watershed.

2. A Montana cabin surrounded by nature. This vacation retreat at Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, Montana, has serious green-building chops. Completed in 2008, it was southwest Montana’s first LEED Platinum-rated home, a designation that means it’s resource-efficient — using less water and energy, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Built as a vacation home for a family of five, the 2,200-square-foot property sits on 22 acres. A man-made pond is part of a geothermal system that heats the home in winter, using very little energy. A 2-kilowatt solar array provides the home with electricity.
