How much does it cost to build a pond?

Currently renting a place, and looking to move out into a place I can purchase for myself. Came across this listing.
Zillow
Google Maps
It a huge lot of property that's split into 3 separate properties. Below is the 3 lots. This listing I'm currently looking at is the purple area.
As you can see, there's a pretty decent sized pond to the right, and the center pond is struggling a bit. I figured for the price, it all seemed to be a pretty good deal. An apartment/shop combo with 2 storage sheds. the big barn to the left of the main image on zillow doesn't come with the property.
My main question, with the acreage (22.5), 2 ponds, 2 sheds, and a living area (800 sqft/yikes), does the price warrant what i'm getting or is it a rip off? I've considered giving their asking price if they'll include the 2nd barn, but I'm not sure yet.

15k-25k are the numbers I’ve heard tossed around before depending on size, 15 being quite small. I have no idea how much it cost per sq foot though

This is a very tough question. Any person that knows dirt will tell you they cant give an accurate bid because they don't know what the dirt will be like until they start moving it around.
For reference Im in the process of having one redone and it cost 300/hr.( 2 machines running at same time).

I just got one built at my camp in MS. We got charged 28k for the pond, a few loads of gravel, making a driveway, and clearing a few trees to put our mobile home. It was a total shite job. They were awful. Pond is half the size and a quarter of the depth we contracted for. It is embarrassing honestly.
