Resale. Look at how this is influencing your decision to buy the house. The next owner will do the same and some will walk away. Something to think about.
I would not buy a house with a dug well as it's too risky for my taste.
As for depth in areas for drilled wells, jmen is dead-on. I co-worker of mine built on Sebago. The drilled to 750 ft on a lakefront lot and we essentially bone dry to that point and had to hydro the well to get only 3-4 GPM.
His neighbors well is at 325 feet with 10 GPM. You just never know when drilling a well BUT, if you buy that house I would get a drilled well as part of the deal.
