Best species for outside

I live in NC and would like to eventually keep a croc/caiman in a man made outdoor pond. I'm wondering how i would keep it warm in winter. Is ther a species that would go into a "Gator House" to keep warm or do they all need to stay in water year round. I've been trying to find my own answers for quite some while now but i just can't get the specifics i need. I've never owned a crocadilian before but i keep hots and large constrictors. I just know a caimin or croc will outgrow any indoor enclosure i can build so want to research for the long term. Thanks
