Hmmm would need to be up north.... I'm in Leicestershire/north Warwick's 600-800k is an upmarket 5 bed with no land/lake...
I think it's doable north Derbyshire etc...but not South

One came up last year near famous Darneth complex in North kent.
Thinking it was about 950 to one mill.
We did consider it. I think just the precarity of the economy and a natural cautiousness stopped me even viewing. Neither wife or kid would want to move to Darenth either. Though Its only about 8 miles from us.

Well within budget if it goes at Guide (probably near double that if its auction) bang the two lakes into one probably end up with one lake around 2.5 acres with land strip gone, looks fenced so theres a bonus.
HOUSE WITH LAKE
EDIT : Ignore what I said goggled the location afterwards and the two lakes are divided by an access road to an Engineering company , strike it OFF

Looking at Google maps (I was intrigued) I don't think the lakes could be joined. There's a track between them that leads to another commercial property. Does look a nice spot though.
Edit - Ha you beat me to it!

That one only has fishing rights to one side of the lake .
For me that would be a massive no-go.

Anywhere in England really but realistically the more down south the less you get, I have been looming at France and it opens it up a lot more but also the risk factor increases as I'm less upto scratch with the do s and donts so would need someone over there in the know who I could trust but it's definitely appealing and affordable.

Would it be cheaper to buy a house with land and and make a lake?

You'd be surprised how much it would cost to dig a lake.

If i remember correctly, you have to get permission from your water authority (i may be wrong)
you may own the land, but you dont own the water

I believe that is true, the same as if you have a pond/lake in your garden you still need a licence to fish it.

There's a new lake local to me, he had to get 200 Tonnes of soil removed by grab lorry's and then pay to dispose of it.
My in-laws have a farm with 270 acres and it's my dream to dig a lake and create a syndicate but the outlay would be massive.
Most lakes near us were dug when extracting gravel and the land owners were payed so we're in a win win situation at the time.

Have you looked into the possibility that there might be valuable aggregate under the land? I know someone who just happened to have a gravel seam under his land. Company came in extracted the gravel and paid him for it and restored the land to his liking (decided at time of planning). I believe it's how John Wilson had his lake dug as well.

I think that depends on if you have an inlet and/or an outlet.

That's very true, I believe John Wilson got his dug to extract gravel which a lot of the lakes around Taverham/Lenwade were for the Norwich ring roads.
