I would make the pond at least 5 acres in size and deep, & if you decide to have an island put it off to one side. That would be large enough that you could even have a small sailing sabot; nothing more relaxing than to sail around on your own pond.

The clay on top seals any cracks in the cement and makes the pond look "natural".
