Bear Ridge Retreat is an 80 acre Black Hills recreational and operational estate with a 1,750 foot private grass airstrip, the 2,264 square foot Cow Palace lodge, two fully finished guest cabins, a three-building shop complex, two operating water wells with five installed cisterns, a 55 kilowatt generator, and a one-acre spring-fed pond. The property offers an exceptional combination of privacy and natural beauty. Land Bear Ridge Retreat, situated on the doorstep of the Black Hills National Forest, this 80 acre ranch has served as a private retreat and commercial event venue under current ownership. With a sleeping capacity of 28 guests in a rustic yet elegant compound including The Cow Palace Lodge and two log cabins, a new owner may wish to continue operations or reserve the use exclusively for family and friends. The ranch has an attractive mix of meadows and forests in a diverse topography. Clean water and crisp, invigorating air are abundant here in a region considered one of the most diverse, intact ecosystems on our region. The property is convenient to a full array of services, including the town of Spearfish only 11 miles away and an international airport in Rapid City within 60 minutes of the property's front gate. The western portion is level improved bench, which is what makes the runway and the shop pads possible. The ground then transitions east through open pasture and established tree belts into three steep, timbered canyons that cut into the parcel from the east and south. Elevation falls to the lower meadows along Beaver Creek on the east boundary. The spring canyon above the pond is the most secluded and least disturbed ground on the entire 80 acres. Land composition is a working mix: hayed meadow and improved pasture on the benches, ponderosa pine and mixed hardwood on the canyon walls, rocky outcroppings on the breaks, and alluvial ground along the spring drainage and the lower eastern boundary. Access is from Bear Ridge Road by way of an interior road that has been cut in to serve the parcel, with gravel scheduled. A permanent access easement will be recorded in favor of this 80 acres across the adjoining parcel, giving this parcel deeded, year-round legal access. The adjoining 40 acres and custom home is also available. Interior rock and gravel road and pad infrastructure measuring approximately 2,474 linear feet across the assembled property provides all-weather access to the improvements. Seasonal dirt trails extend beyond the cabin sites into the back-country canyons. Improvements Private grass airstrip. A 1,750 foot turf runway oriented to the prevailing local winds, sited on the operational bench. This is the rarest improvement on the property and among the rarest in the Black Hills land market at this acreage. It cannot be permitted, sited, and constructed at will on most properties in the region. The runway places the parcel within a same-day private flight of the Colorado Front Range, the Twin Cities, and the Texas market, which makes the property usable as a primary retreat rather than a distant destination. Cow Palace lodge. 2,264 square feet, western themed, configured for serious hosting. The lodge holds a full kitchen and wet bar and is set up to accommodate twenty bunk beds across two separate rooms. Between the rooms are three sinks, three showers, two toilets, two urinals, and a laundry area. It sits near the airstrip, so arriving aircraft and lodge guests are within minimal ground travel of each other. Guest cabins. Cabin 1 measures 2,400 square feet and Cabin 2 measures 1,700 square feet. Both are fully finished and move-in ready with no finish work remaining. Both are sited near the spring-fed pond on the east end, separated from the operational core by the terrain of the spring canyon and the surrounding timbered slopes. Shop complex. Three buildings: the original shop at 830 square feet, a tarp shed at 448 square feet, and a new shop at 1,536 square feet. The new shop was completed in 2025 and is set up to serve as a large greenhouse if desired. Together the three buildings provide storage, equipment servicing, and workshop capacity for both ranch operations and aviation support. Water and power infrastructure. Two operating water wells and five installed cisterns provide domestic, livestock, and emergency capacity. The full water infrastructure for the assembled 120 acres is located within the East 80 and serves both parcels under a well share and water use agreement executed and recorded at closing. A 55 kilowatt generator is centrally located and can provide power to all buildings. Pond structures. A 120 square foot pond house and a 200 square foot cannon shed stand near the spring-fed pond. Recreation Three elements define the recreational program on the Bear Ridge Retreat, and they rarely converge on a single Black Hills property at this size: a private grass airstrip, a managed game-fenced habitat, and a live spring-fed pond. Each stands alone as a meaningful amenity. Together they make a recreational estate without a direct comparable in the current marketplace. The airstrip changes what the property is. A buyer from Colorado, Minnesota, or Texas lands on the property and is at the lodge within minutes. No commercial connection, no rental car, no three hour drive from a regional airport. For a buyer for whom aviation is part of daily life, this is the difference between a retreat used four times a year and one used monthly. The game-fenced interior has been managed under the current ownership and has produced mature resident wildlife documented on trail cameras across the property. Open benches, timbered canyons, water, and established cover support both resident and transient species. The three interior canyons serve as natural travel corridors and hold secluded stand locations. The spring canyon feeding the pond is the most undisturbed ground on the assembled 80 acres and delivers wildlife observation at a level that open or unmanaged ground of this size rarely achieves. The one-acre pond is fed by a live spring and holds water year-round. The pond house and both cabins are positioned to take full advantage of the east country. Cabin 1 at 2,400 square feet and Cabin 2 at 1,700 square feet are both move-in ready, which means immediate capacity for family groups, hunting parties, or extended guest stays alongside the twenty bunk capacity of the lodge. Seasonal trails run beyond the cabin sites into the back-country canyons, reaching the most secluded ground on the parcel. Beyond the fence, the northern Black Hills open onto the Black Hills National Forest, the Spearfish Canyon corridor, and the Belle Fourche and Redwater River drainages. TheBlack Hills National Forestcovers more than 1.2 million acres in western South Dakota and northeastern Wyoming, with activities for just about anyone who likes to spend time outdoors. Known as an Island in the Plains, the hills rise out of the prairie creating a variety of terrain for activities ranging from mountain biking to rock climbing to hiking. Off-road enthusiasts will love exploring more than 600 miles of ATV trails throughout the forest that weave through canyons and gulches, across plains, and past amazing rock formations. Amid the splendid scenery of the Black Hills National Forest are 11 reservoirs, 30 campgrounds, 26 picnic areas, 2 scenic byways, 1,300 miles of streams, 13,000 acres of wilderness, 353 miles of trails, 2 ski resorts and much more. Agriculture Open bench and meadow ground on the Bear Ridge Retreat supports hay production and seasonal grazing in the rotation established under the current ownership. Established tree belts provide windbreaks that extend the effective grazing and working season. Agricultural use here is complementary to the recreational program rather than in competition with it. A buyer can run a modest cattle or horse operation alongside active hunting and aviation use without interference. The perimeter and interior fencing, the road and pad network, and the three-building shop complex supply the working infrastructure needed to manage livestock at a scale appropriate to eighty acres in the Black Hills transition zone, and none of it has to be built. Water/Mineral Rights & Natural Resources Water infrastructure on the property is comprehensive and serves both parcels of the original compound. Two operating water wells are located within this parcel, along with five installed cisterns providing stored capacity for domestic, livestock, and emergency use. A well share and water use agreement will be executed and recorded at closing, formalizing cost allocation, access rights, maintenance and repair responsibilities, and future capital replacement obligations between the owners of both parcels. The agreement runs with the land and binds all future owners of both parcels. A buyer of the this property owns the wells and hosts the system, with the neighboring parcel's rights and cost obligations defined of record. Surface water is exceptional for eighty acres. A one-acre pond on the east end is fed by a live spring and holds water year-round. The spring canyon above the pond retains seasonal flow and supports the wildlife habitat across the eastern reaches of the parcel. Beaver Creek forms the east boundary. Mineral and subsurface rights will be conveyed as currently held by the seller. Buyers are encouraged to complete independent mineral due diligence during the inspection and due diligence period. Ponderosa pine and mixed hardwood stands populate the canyon slopes. Open benches carry native and introduced grasses consistent with the Black Hills transition zone, with established windbreak rows framing the lodge and the cabin sites. General Operations The assembled property has been operated as a private family compound and educational training facility with an integrated recreational and aviation program. The Bear Ridge Retreat carried the operational s

Land Bear Ridge Haven is made up of 40 acres located in the coveted Black Hills just 11 miles west of the town of Spearfish and an hour from Rapid City. The property is a blend of Pine and Spruce surrounding a meadow, and views that encompass the Black Hills, Bear Lodge Mountains and Crow Peak to the east . Elevation falls away to the east toward the interior canyon country of the adjoining parcel, which means the residence sits above and apart from the operational ground rather than beside it. Terrain across the parcel runs from level improved bench at the home site to open pasture and meadow, with tree belts breaking the prevailing wind and rocky outcroppings typical of the country where the Black Hills meet the surrounding prairie. The property is well-kept, and the hayfield is managed appropriately to produce forage crops and attract the multitude of wildlife that exists there, including whitetail deer and elk. Bear Ridge Haven is an easy-to-own property with impressive improvements in proximity to Spearfish, Rapid City, and the lively aspects of these desirable Black Hills communities, yet far enough away to find solitude in a highly sought-after area. Bear Ridge Haven is a basecamp for adventure. Encapsulated by remarkable scenery, the adventures from the property are endless. Additionally, the vibrant communities of Spearfish and Rapid City are conveniently located for owners to enjoy the multitude of entertainment, shopping, fine dining experiences, and air travel to and from the area. This is a simple place to own and enjoy, with serviceable off-site maintenance services available. The location is quiet, and with many years applied toward its current, beautifully maintained status, a new owner can step in and immediately enjoy everything that the property has to offer. Improvements The main residence is a 6,536 square foot custom home with an attached two-car garage. The main floor features 2 master bedrooms, one with a rock fireplace, a mud room with 1/2 bath and laundry, and a full kitchen with new appliances. The large great room has a rock fireplace sourced from the property. The lower floor has a second full kitchen, bedroom with full bath and 2 walk-in closets and a second laundry room. The lower level has a private entrance, allowing it to be a totally separate living facility. This level also features a 6,000-bottle wine room and an additional gun/hobby room. The upper level is currently being utilized as an office and could be utilized as one or two additional bedrooms. It has a full bathroom. Wraparound decking covers 1,473 square feet across two sides of the home, capturing the prevailing views from the improved bench. Concrete drives and walks total 3,500 square feet. Supporting outbuildings include a 504 square foot ATV shed and a 240 square foot meat shed. There is also a large root cellar on the north side of the house. The home yard contains seventy mature trees, a west tree belt, a house tree belt, raised and curbed tree and flower beds, and five mature apple trees. All landscaping is fully established and requires no startup capital to maintain at its current presentation level. Recreation From hiking, biking, climbing, skiing, snowmobiling and snowshoeing, the Black Hills National Forest offers recreation activities for all ages, stages and interests. Within a 15-mile radius of the property, residents have easy access to three main recreational areas: Spearfish Canyon, Big Hill and Crow Peak. Specialized campgrounds, accessible recreation opportunities and a system of trails connecting communities, showcase the Black Hills National Forest that provides user friendly access to year round family activities. Together, the attractive features of the Black Hills National Forest, Custer State Park, and area National Parks, Memorials, and Monuments are the foundation for the local recreation economies. TheBlack Hills National Forestcovers more than 1.2 million acres in western South Dakota and northeastern Wyoming, with activities for just about anyone who likes to spend time outdoors. Known as an Island in the Plains, the hills rise out of the prairie creating a variety of terrain for activities ranging from mountain biking to rock climbing to hiking. Off-road enthusiasts will love exploring more than 600 miles of ATV trails throughout the forest that weave through canyons and gulches, across plains, and past amazing rock formations. Amid the splendid scenery of the Black Hills National Forest are 11 reservoirs, 30 campgrounds, 26 picnic areas, 2 scenic byways, 1,300 miles of streams, 13,000 acres of wilderness, 353 miles of trails, 2 ski resorts and much more. The parcel sits inside the perimeter game fence of the original compound, which has held a managed wildlife habitat under the current ownership. Resident wildlife documented on trail cameras moves across the assembled property, and the Bear Ridge Haven carries the open bench and tree belt cover that wildlife works in the mornings and evenings. The 80 acres adjoining this property to the east is available. For a buyer acquiring both parcels, the recreation program is complete: airstrip, lodge, 2 cabins, pond, and canyons on the East 80, with the residence on the West 40 as the private end of the property. Agriculture Open bench and meadow ground on the property supports hay production and seasonal grazing in the rotation established under the current ownership. Tree belts serve as windbreaks and extend the effective grazing and working season on the parcel. The scale here is a small horse operation, a few head, or a hobby hay program rather than a commercial livestock enterprise. What the parcel offers is that the supporting infrastructure already exists. Perimeter and interior fencing, the improved road and pad network, and established windbreaks are in place, which removes the capital outlay a bare land buyer would face in developing the same ground. Water/Mineral Rights & Natural Resources Water service to Bear Ridge Haven is supplied from the shared well system located on the adjoining east 80 acres. Two operating water wells and five installed cisterns serve the assembled property. A well share and water use agreement will be executed and recorded at closing. It formalizes cost allocation, access rights, maintenance and repair responsibilities, and future capital replacement obligations between the owners of this 40 acres and the East 80. The agreement will run with the land and binds all future owners of both parcels. Mineral and subsurface rights will be conveyed as currently held by the seller. Buyers are encouraged to complete independent mineral due diligence during the inspection and due diligence period. Timber and vegetation on the parcel run to established windbreak rows, ornamental shade species, and bearing apple trees at the residence, with native and introduced grasses across the open bench and ponderosa pine on the slopes at the parcel edges. General Operations Bear Ridge Haven has operated as the residence of a private family compound, and it is turnkey in the literal sense. Roads, pads, fencing, water service, landscaping, and outbuildings are all in place and functioning. A buyer takes possession of a working residential property on day one with no infrastructure to stand up.

**Price Improvement** Bear Ridge Compound is a 120-acre turnkey property on Bear Ridge Road in the Black Hills region of western South Dakota. The property rises from Beaver Creek on the east boundary through rolling pasture, stands of ponderosa pine and hardwood timber, three interior canyons, to improved benches where the main residence, the Cow Palace lodge, a private grass airstrip, and two fully finished guest cabins are sited. Land The property contains 120 contiguous deeded acres platted into two parcels the East 80 and the West 40 as described in the recorded plat. Topography varies from level improved benches at the residential and lodge areas to three steep, timbered canyons that cut into the property from the east and south. Elevations rise from the lower meadows along Beaver Creek on the east boundary to the open bench country on the west. The land offers a combination of hayed meadow, improved pasture, timbered canyon walls, and rocky outcroppings that typify the transition country where the Black Hills meet the surrounding prairie. The West 40 encompasses the improved western bench where the main residence is sited, mature ornamental grounds, and the primary Bear Ridge Road approach. The East 80 encompasses the operational bench ground carrying the lodge, airstrip, and shop complex, and transitions east through open pasture, tree belts, and the three interior canyons to the spring canyon and one-acre pond at the eastern boundary. Beaver Creek forms the eastern boundary of the property. The spring canyon feeding the pond retains seasonal flow and supports the wildlife habitat across the eastern reaches of the East 80. Two fully finished cabins at 2,400 and 1,700 square feet are sited near the pond on the east end, providing immediate habitability for guest and family use. The game fence perimeter is approximately 1.1 miles in total length, enclosing the managed habitat.

Seasonal dirt trails extend beyond the cabin sites into the backcountry canyons of the East 80, accessing the most secluded ground on the property. Soil types on the improved benches are loam to clay loam, with rockier soils on canyon sides and alluvial ground along the spring and lower eastern boundary. Buyers seeking specific soil capability ratings may consult the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey using the recorded legal description. A live spring feeds a one-acre pond on the east end of the property. Over 1.1 miles of game fencing encloses the managed habitat area that has matured under the current ownership. The ranch is organized around two complementary zones. The West 40 holds the 6,536 square foot custom main residence, mature ornamental grounds, and improved primary access from Bear Ridge Road. The East 80 holds the Cow Palace lodge, the 1,750-foot private grass runway, the full shop complex, the primary water wells and cisterns, two fully finished guest cabins at 2,400 and 1,700 square feet, and the spring-fed pond a self-contained operational and recreational estate capable of running entirely independent of the main residence. Improvements West 40 Residential Parcel The main residence is a 6,536 square foot custom home with an attached two-car garage. The main floor features 2 master bedrooms, one with a rock fireplace, a mud room with 1/2 bath and laundry, and a full kitchen with new appliances. The large great room has a rock fireplace sourced from the property. The lower floor has a second full kitchen, bedroom with full bath and 2 walk-in closets and a second laundry room. The lower level has a private entrance, allowing it to be a totally separate living facility. This level also features a 6,000-bottle wine room and an additional gun/hobby room. The upper level is currently being utilized as an office and could be utilized as one or two additional bedrooms. It has a full bathroom. Wraparound decking covers 1,473 square feet across two sides of the home, capturing the prevailing views from the improved bench. Concrete drives and walks total 3,500 square feet. Supporting outbuildings include a 504 square foot ATV shed and a 240 square foot meat shed. There is also a large root cellar on the north side of the house. The home yard contains seventy mature trees, a west tree belt, a house tree belt, raised and curbed tree and flower beds, and five mature apple trees. All landscaping is fully established and requires no startup capital to maintain at its current presentation level. East 80 Operational and Recreational Parcel The Cow Palace lodge measures 2,264 square feet and is configured as a full-service lodge capable of hosting hunting parties, family gatherings, and extended guest stays entirely independent of the main residence. The lodge has a western theme and features a full kitchen and wet bar. It is set up to accommodate 20 bunk beds in 2 separate rooms. Between the rooms are 3 sinks, 3 showers, 2 toilets, 2 urinals and a laundry area. The lodge sits near the grass airstrip, placing arriving aircraft and lodge guests within minimal ground travel of each other. The private grass airstrip is a 1,750-foot turf runway oriented to the prevailing local winds. This improvement is among the rarest amenities in the Black Hills land market at this acreage and cannot be permitted, sited, and constructed at will on most properties in the region. The airstrip positions the ranch within a same-day private flight of the Colorado Front Range, the Twin Cities, and the Texas market, making the property genuinely accessible as a primary retreat from any of those origin points. The shop complex consists of 3 buildings: the original shop at 830 square feet, a tarp shed at 448 square feet, and a new shop at 1,536 square feet. The new shop was completed in 2025 and is set up to be a large greenhouse if desired. The three buildings collectively provide storage, equipment servicing, and workshop capacity for both ranch operations and aviation support. Two fully finished guest cabins are sited near the spring-fed pond on the east end of the parcel. Cabin 1 measures 2,400 square feet and Cabin 2 measures 1,700 square feet. Both are move-in ready with no finish work remaining. The combination of the lodge and two fully finished cabins gives the East 80 the capacity to host multiple parties simultaneously under a single ownership. Supporting structures near the pond include a 120 square foot pond house and a 200 square foot cannon shed. Two operating water wells with an inverter serve the property. Five installed cisterns provide stored capacity for domestic, livestock, and emergency use. The full water infrastructure is located within the East 80 and serves both parcels under the recorded well share agreement executed at closing. A 55 kW generator is centrally located and can provide power to all buildings. Property-Wide Over 1.1 miles of game fencing encloses the managed habitat area with gates and braces encloses the perimeter. Interior fencing includes two-rail and three-rail sections consistent with the property's multipurpose use. Rock and gravel road and pad infrastructure totaling approximately 2,474 linear feet provides all-weather access to the primary improvements across both parcels. Recreation The recreational program at the Bear Ridge Compound is defined by three elements that rarely converge on a single Black Hills property at this size: a private grass airstrip, a managed game-fenced habitat, and a live spring-fed pond. Wildlife known to frequent the property includes: elk, two deer species (whitetail and mule deer), mountain lion, bobcat, fox, coyote, dove, grouse and an occasional pheasant. Each of these stands alone as a meaningful amenity. Together they constitute a recreational compound without a direct comparable in the current marketplace. The airstrip places the ranch within a short flight of most regional destinations and opens the property to buyers for whom aviation is part of daily life. Buyers from Colorado, Minnesota, or Texas arrive by private aircraft and are at the Cow Palace lodge within minutes of landing. No commercial connection, rental car, or extended ground drive is required. The game-fenced interior has been managed under the current ownership and has produced mature resident wildlife documented on trail cameras throughout the property. Open benches, timbered canyons, water, and established cover combine to support both resident and transient species. The three interior canyons offer natural travel corridors and secluded stand locations. The spring canyon feeding the east pond is the most undisturbed ground on the property, offering wildlife observation at a level that open or unmanaged ground of this size rarely achieves. The one-acre spring-fed pond holds water year-round. The pond house and the two fully finished cabins are positioned to take full advantage of the east country, offering wildlife viewing and a private retreat separated from the operational core of the ranch by the natural terrain of the spring canyon and surrounding timbered slopes. Cabin 1 at 2,400 square feet and Cabin 2 at 1,700 square feet are both move-in ready, providing immediate capacity for family groups, hunting parties, or extended guest stays all without displacing occupants of the main residence or the Cow Palace lodge. Additional recreational infrastructure includes the ATV shed, the interior road and pad network, and the seasonal trails extending into the backcountry canyons beyond the cabin sites. The lodge, the two fully finished cabins, the airstrip, and the fenced habitat together deliver a complete recreational program capable of hosting multiple groups simultaneously under a single ownership.

Summers are warm, with temperatures typically ranging from the mid-70s to low 80sF (24-28C), though cooler temperatures prevail at higher elevations. Precipitation: The Black Hills receive more precipitation than the surrounding plains, due to orographic lift (where moist air is forced upward by the terrain, cooling and releasing moisture as rain or snow). Deadwood receives an average of about 28 inches (71 cm) of precipitation annually, with the majority falling as snow in the winter and rain in the spring and summer. Temperature: Due to the elevation (Deadwood sits around 4,500 feet or 1,370 meters above sea level), temperatures can be cooler compared to the surrounding plains. Winter temperatures often dip below freezing, while summer temperatures are mild to warm. Microclimates: The varied topography of the Black Hills creates numerous microclimates. Valleys and sheltered areas like Deadwood might experience milder conditions, while exposed peaks and ridges can be significantly cooler and windier. History The history of the Black Hills and the Deadwood area is rich and deeply intertwined with the cultural, economic, and social developments of the American West. Understanding this history provides valuable context for anyone considering making this unique region their home. Indigenous Heritage Lakota Sioux: The Black Hills, known as Paha Sapa in Lakota, hold profound spiritual significance to the Lakota Sioux people. The area was considered sacred, with the Lakota believing it to be the center of their universe. The Black Hills were used for ceremonial purposes and were central to the cultural identity of the Lakota. The Gold Rush and Settlement Gold Discovery (1874): The discovery of gold in the Black Hills by the Custer Expedition in 1874 triggered a rush of miners and settlers to the area, despite it being designated as Sioux land. This influx led to the establishment of towns like Deadwood and Lead. Deadwood's Founding (1876): Deadwood became a boomtown almost overnight, attracting thousands of fortune seekers. The town quickly developed a reputation for lawlessness, with famous figures like Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, and Seth Bullock becoming part of its storied past. Wild Bill Hickok, famously shot while holding a hand of aces and eights, is buried in Deadwood's Mount Moriah Cemetery, along with other notable historical figures. Economic and Cultural Development Mining Industry: The initial gold rush gave way to more structured mining operations, with the Homestake Mine in Lead becoming one of the world's largest and most productive gold mines. The mine operated for over a century, contributing significantly to the local economy and shaping the development of the surrounding communities. Frontier Culture: The early days of Deadwood were marked by a blend of rugged frontier life and rapid development. Saloons, gambling halls, and brothels were common, giving the town its wild reputation. Over time, efforts were made to bring order to the town, with the establishment of law enforcement and civic institutions. Modern Times Preservation: As the mining boom waned, Deadwood transformed into a hub for tourism and historical preservation. In 1989, gambling was legalized in Deadwood, leading to a revitalization of the town and the preservation of many historic buildings. Tourism and Heritage: Today, Deadwood is a National Historic Landmark District, preserving its Wild West heritage while offering modern amenities and attractions. The town's rich history is a focal point for tourism, with numerous museums, historic sites, and reenactments drawing visitors from around the world.

Miller Creek Meadows offers a rare blend of seclusion and proximity to Spearfish, South Dakota. 91.5 acres of rolling hay meadows, oak groves, Ponderosa pine ridges and seasonal Miller Creek provide ideal habitat for deer, turkey, and upland game. With power nearby and breathtaking building sites, this is a sportsman's dream within 15 minutes of town. Land Miller Creek Meadows is a visual masterpiece, spanning 91.55 acres of rolling meadows, timbered ridges, and rocky outcroppings typical of the northern Black Hills. The meadows are edged by mature stands of ponderosa pine and native bur oak, with an understory of aspen, chokecherry and even a few apple trees. The property's terrain includes exposed rock ledges and outcrops composed of pale grey Paha Sapa limestone and pinkbuff Englewood limestone overlying older Spearfish Formation red siltstone and shale. These rocky ridges create natural perches for turkey and vantage points for archery hunting, while the oakpine margins provide ideal food and cover. The seasonal Miller Creek meanders through spring-fed swales, enhancing the lush grasslands that yield hay annually, and supporting summer grazing. Gravel terraces and shallow depressions near the creek support diverse wildflowers and herbaceous plants, attracting upland birds and pollinators. Improvements The property includes a well house that delivers water to a livestock watering tank serving cattle grazing operations. Multiple natural ridges and elevated knolls offer scenic and secluded building sites--perfect for a hunting cabin or custom home tucked amidst oak groves. The site is secluded but with power accessible at the road frontage, facilitating development without disrupting the balance of meadow and timber. Recreation Miller Creek Meadows is a true haven for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts seeking both solitude and abundant wildlife. The combination of open hay meadows, seasonal creek channels, oakpine hardwood edges, and rugged limestone outcroppings creates a rich mosaic of habitats that sustain thriving populations of white-tailed and mule deer, wild turkey, and upland game birds. The land's diverse structure naturally funnels wildlife through the property, with well-worn game trails, bedding thickets, and shaded travel corridors visible throughout. During the spring thaw and early summer rains, Miller Creek draws wildlife from surrounding hillsides, enhancing the mix of forage, water, and cover. Its proximity to the scenic Spearfish Canyon and the vast Black Hills National Forest makes it an exceptional basecamp for both day hunts and extended outdoor pursuits. Whether you're glassing from a ridgeline, calling turkeys along the creek bottom, or watching raptors soar overhead--including golden eagles, bald eagles, and red-tailed hawks--this property offers immersive, year-round outdoor experiences in a setting that feels truly wild yet remains close to town. Agriculture Currently utilized for annual grass hay production and seasonal cattle grazing, the property delivers both function and flexibility. Soil conditions, fed by groundwater seeps and creek flow, sustain native grasses and clover blends ideal for hay. Fencing and livestock infrastructure, along with the well and stock tank, make current grazing operations seamless. These pastures, bordered by oak and pine, are also well suited to lightly managed ranch uses such as rotational grazing, brood stock grazing, or game bird release rotation. Water/Mineral Rights & Natural Resources Spring-fed Miller Creek flows through the low-lying meadow corridor during wetter seasons, supplying riparian habitat and forage. A private well supports the well house and livestock watering system year-round. No mineral rights are known to be severed; all mineral interests owned by the seller will convey with the sale. General Operations Minimal daily oversight is required--annual hay cutting and seasonal cattle grazing are managed efficiently.

It offers an established hunting retreat, wildlife habitat preserve, or future home-site investment with built-in ag operations to support low-cost carry.
