Default Pond add value?

When we bought our house having a pond (since totally rebuilt :-( )
was a selling point and we would never have asked the previous owners to
fill it in!

======================
If we, or I, ever have to sell this place I plan to pull off the filters and
nets and get rid of the fish. I'll make the ponds look as natural as
possible and hope for the best. If that doesn't work I'll knock off a few
thou and let the buyer worry about filling the ponds in. If that also fails
I guess I'll have to get a few loads of soil and hire someone to fill in
the two holes and level the ground.

As we get older we're finding these ponds to be a bit much work. Add a
little burn-out after 13 years. We've been talking about getting rid of the
fish and filters and letting nature have the ponds.......
