Several ponds surrounded by wetlands create habitat for waterfowl and upland birds. Nestled on the original homestead lies a 17,000 square foot lodge with an open floor plan, finishes are second to none. Completed in 2007, this lodge was hand crafted onsite from Red and Norway Pine. Over 170 tons of moss rock were collected on the ranch and only the best was hand selected to be used in construction. Amenities include large bedroom suites, grand great room, movie theater, safe/panic room, private office, and dual saunas, all with custom woodwork finishes. The original buildings were restored as historically as possible, preserving the character of the past while ensuring existence for the next generation.

A second home onsite can be used for a caretaker or guests. Known for its lush soil and grass production, this ranch has consistently produced large trophy Bull Elk for over 20 years. Antelope, Deer and Turkey hunting provide other opportunities along with waterfowl and upland birds. Roads have been improved to offer access to nearly all of the 7100 acres.

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.

Cabin 1 - Amish Built in 2010 Three king bedrooms · 960± sq. ft. main floor · 480± sq. ft. upper · 680± sq. ft. of deck White pine construction with a three-inch Colorado fir deck - ten feet wide, 680± square feet - running the full south and east sides. New windows on the main floor in 2026. The signature feature is a pair of native stone fireplaces - one inside, one outside rising roughly twenty-two feet up the gable - both built from limestone harvested on the ranch.

It has done that job before: previously carpeted and used to teach real estate appraisal classes, seating twenty-one to twenty-four. Cannon Shed A small display building housing a horse-drawn replica Revolutionary War cannon - a 'Grasshopper' pack three-pounder - alongside a doctor's buggy.

Built in 2018 Sleeps 20 · Full kitchen · Handmade wet bar · Designed from the outset to convert A metal building on the outside and something else entirely on the inside: barnwood and corrugated steel wainscot, skylights, a working jukebox, and a hand-built octagonal bar. Concrete runs the full length of the front elevation with a sixteen-foot picnic table and room for up to four BBQ stations. Kitchen, Dining and Entertainment Full kitchen and breakfast bar with pantry, freezer, storage, and electrical panel Appliances roughly six to eight years old - dishwasher, stove, microwave, refrigerator, and sink Handmade dining table seating twelve Handmade wet bar with its own small refrigerator and dishwasher, and a handmade octagonal seating area with custom stools Couch, working jukebox, and other decorative pieces convey with the sale Framed for a small free-standing wood stove in several locations Sleeping and Bathrooms Two large sleeping rooms, each designed for ten bunk beds - twenty guests total One room's bunks are stored on site, easily set up, and included in the sale Each sleeping room has its own door onto the front BBQ patio Group bath with three showers, three sinks, two toilets, two urinals, and washer and dryer Built To Convert The lodge was framed with a second life in mind. The two sleeping rooms are laid out to become two bedrooms with walk-in closets added, and the group bath is designed to split into two - remove three fixtures and you are left with two comparable baths, each with shower, toilet, sink, and storage. The result would be a barndominium or a straightforward single-family residence without touching the shell. Built out in stages between 2010 and 2026, all on Tract 2 and clustered inside the game fence. Original shop: clear steel span with a concrete floor New shop, built 2025, dirt floor - south half of the roof in 1-inch polycarbonate for daylight, north half in double steel The new shop's structure is worth a look: converted light poles, 9 x 12 railroad timbers and trusses, set on 18-inch laminated beams 120± sq. ft. frame building at the pond, added 2026 360± sq. ft. steel-frame storage building, added 2022 288± sq. ft. heated steel-frame storage building, added 2020 256± sq. ft. three-sided pole building for mowers, added 2023 384± sq. ft. three-sided pole structure shading the propane tank, added 2020 96± sq. ft. steel-frame generator shed housing a 55 kW propane generator, added 2019 Two older storage buildings, nominal in value but functional, one with electrical service Raised concrete block fuel pad for multiple fuel tanks 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. 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. In this country, water is the asset that can't be added later. Bear Ridge has two good wells, both piped to serve both tracts, with a manifold that lets either one carry the property. Deep Madison Well Approximately 800 feet deep, drilled around 2010 Has produced over 100 gallons per minute since it was drilled Pumped into a 5,000-gallon cistern - which it fills in about 50 minutes - and pressurized for surface use Madison-formation water - excellent quality and highly sought after; most Black Hills towns draw from this same formation Minnelusa Well Approximately 450 feet deep, developed circa 2012 by the prior owner Deep pump installed; bottom ~60 feet of casing replaced Pumped into three 2,500-gallon cisterns and pressurized for ranch use Formerly the domestic supply and convertible back through the well manifold in an emergency 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. The assembled property has been operated as a private family compound and educational training facility with an integrated recreational and aviation program. A compound like this doesn't fit one buyer profile, so it's worth being plain about the realistic uses - all of which the current configuration already supports. A Family Seat Three king suites in the main house, three more in Cabin 1, one in Cabin 2, and bunk rooms for twenty. Everyone gets a bed and, more to the point, everyone gets a door that closes. Three full kitchens mean nobody is cooking for thirty alone. An Events Center with a Track Record Weddings, reunions, and celebrations of life have all been held here, with a permitted burn pad, a sixteen-foot picnic table, four BBQ stations, a pond, and enough parking to match. Guests have returned with professional photographers on their own initiative - the strongest endorsement a venue gets. Short-Term Rental or Corporate Retreat Four separable buildings can be rented individually or together. Cabin 2's garage seated more than twenty for professional appraisal classes; the lodge seats twelve at table with a bar and jukebox alongside. A two-Parcel Play Because the improvements are split across two deeded tracts - the main house on 40± acres, everything else on 80± - a buyer has genuine flexibility on scale, whether that means occupying one tract and leasing Operating infrastructure is turnkey. Roads, pads, fencing, water, power backup, and shop capacity are all in place. A buyer steps into a working operation on day one without startup capital for infrastructure that would otherwise take years and substantial expenditure to replicate. The airstrip in particular is the kind of improvement that cannot be permitted, sited, and constructed on demand on most ranch properties, which makes this one of the scarcer operational and recreational parcels at this size in the Black Hills market. The Black Hills of western South Dakota are a forested uplift rising out of the northern plains, producing a temperate semi-arid climate with four distinct seasons. Summers are warm, with daytime highs typically in the seventies and eighties. Winters are cold with periodic snow, moderated somewhat in the foothill transition zone where this property sits. Annual precipitation in the region averages in the high teens to low twenties of inches, with the heaviest moisture arriving as spring rain and seasonal thunderstorms. Elevation, aspect, and timber cover combine to produce microclimates across the parcel that support the diversity of habitat present on the ground. The surrounding region is one of the premier recreational corridors in the northern plains. Spearfish Canyon, Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore National Memorial, the Black Elk Wilderness, and the Belle Fourche and Redwater River drainages all lie within a comfortable drive. Hunting, fishing, trail riding, and backcountry recreation are woven into the local culture and calendar, and the northern Hills draw buyers from across the country who value proximity to this corridor as both a lifestyle amenity and a long-term land asset. The property lies off Bear Ridge Road in Lawrence County, South Dakota, and is reached by the interior access road serving the parcel from Bear Ridge Road under recorded easement. The parcel sits in the northern Black Hills, within the recreational corridor that runs from Spearfish and Belle Fourche through Sturgis and Deadwood and south toward Custer and Hot Springs. Regional commercial amenities, medical care, and professional services are available in Spearfish only 11 miles away and Rapid City 60 minutes away. Buyers arriving by private aircraft land directly on the property's 1,750 foot grass runway. Buyers arriving by commercial air use Rapid City Regional Airport for connections to major hubs.
