luxury real estate for sale Beulah, United States

**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, a lodge, a private grass airstrip, and two fully finished guest cabins are sited. Most acreage listings sell you a house with land around it. Bear Ridge sells you the ability to put thirty-four people to bed on your own ground, feed them from three separate kitchens, and still have a wing of the house to yourself. Assembled over twenty-five years by one owner, the compound spans 120± acres in two contiguous deeded tracts and carries four finished buildings: a 6,360-square-foot main house, two Amish-built log cabins, and a lodge sleeping twenty. The core improvements sit inside roughly 1.1 miles of game fence, drink from two private wells - one an 800-foot Madison well producing better than 100 gallons a minute - and look out at Crow Peak across a spring-fed pond stocked with bass. 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. It has already proven itself. The buildings have hosted weddings, reunions, celebrations of life, and family gatherings, and guests have come back afterward with professional photographers. Nothing here needs to be built or imagined; it needs an owner.

Tract 1 - 40± acres. Holds the main house and its outbuildings. Encumbered with the road access easement serving the rear tract. Two large mature shelter belts, the house belt planted in blue spruce and pine alongside traditional windbreak species. Game fence encloses roughly 16.5 acres on three sides. Tract 2 - 80± acres.

A shared 21-acre enclosure straddles the two tracts.

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.

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. Sheep Wagon A genuine horse-drawn sheepwagon whose base has been in the family since roughly 1900, rejuvenated by Hanson Wheel & Wagon of Letcher, South Dakota. The original canvas is long gone, replaced by a modified steel roof; the authentic running gear gave way to a functional set of wheels, tongue, windows, and doors. Wired for electricity and used as a private sleeping room - and it was reliably the first bed claimed at every event. Crawl Space An above-ground crawl space under the main floor, with a 4 x 5 insulated exterior steel door on the east end giving access to wiring, HVAC, water, and plumbing. 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 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.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. 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. The open benches and meadow ground across both parcels support hay production and seasonal grazing in the rotation established under the current ownership. Tree belts provide windbreaks that extend the effective grazing and working season. The combination of improved pasture, windbreaks, and water makes the property adaptable to small-scale cattle, horse, or mixed livestock operations without the capital outlay required to develop agricultural infrastructure from a bare land purchase. The property's agricultural utility is complementary to its recreational program. A buyer can run a modest cattle or horse operation alongside active hunting and aviation use without interference. The fenced perimeter, the interior road system, and the shop complex provide the working infrastructure needed to manage livestock at the scale appropriate to 120 acres in the Black Hills transition zone. 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 Timber and vegetation: ponderosa pine and mixed hardwood stands populate the canyon slopes. Open benches carry native and introduced grasses consistent with the Black Hills transition zone. Mature trees at the residence include apple, ornamental shade species, and windbreak rows established over the full ownership period. 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 the other or eventually separating them. [Verify current subdivision and zoning status with the county before relying on this.] Included in the Sale Furnishings in both cabins, including the heavy Colorado aspen log beds, dressers, and nightstands Pine dining table and china case in the main house; pine tables in Cabin 1 and the Lodge Lodge couch, working jukebox, and decorative pieces Bunk beds for both lodge sleeping rooms, including the set currently in storage Most of the wine cellar - 500+ bottle capacity Two upright freezers in the root cellar, plus the freezers in the storage shed Restored sheepwagon and the horse-drawn wagon site accents Replica cannon and doctor's buggy - possibly available; ask The Black Hills of western South Dakota are a forested uplift rising from the surrounding 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. The combination of elevation, aspect, and timber cover produces microclimates across the ranch that support the diversity of habitat and agricultural uses present on the property. The surrounding region is one of the premier recreational corridors in the northern plains. Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore National Memorial, the Black Elk Wilderness, Spearfish Canyon, 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 Black Hills attract buyers from across the country who value proximity to this corridor as both a lifestyle amenity and a long-term land asset. The current configuration of the compound - the main residence, the lodge, the grass airstrip, two fully finished guest cabins, the shop complex, the game-fenced habitat, and the spring-fed pond - reflects the cumulative investment of that ownership for over 25 years. Bear Ridge Compound has never been publicly offered in its present form. A first-time offering of this caliber is a rare event in the Black Hills land market. The infrastructure, the habitat, and the improvements are the product of sustained private investment that cannot be replicated by a new buyer at today's construction and permitting costs. Bear Ridge Compound is accessed from Bear Ridge Road on the west side of the property. Beaver Creek forms the east boundary. The property sits in the Black Hills region of western South Dakota, within a comfortable drive of Rapid City and its regional airport, and within the broader recreational corridor that extends from Sturgis and Deadwood to Custer and Hot Springs. Regional commercial amenities, medical care, and professional services are accessed through Rapid City. Buyers arriving by private aircraft can 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.

Set on two private acres above Spearfish, this extraordinary contemporary residence offers a rare convergence of architectural significance, panoramic Black Hills views, and refined modern living. Completed in 2023 from plans originally drawn by acclaimed Laguna Beach architect Mark Singer, the approximately 3,747-square-foot home was thoughtfully positioned to embrace its dramatic setting and expansive western views. Walls of glass and an open, light-filled floor plan allow the landscape to become part of the architecture. The great room, dining area, and beautifully appointed kitchen flow effortlessly together, while expansive outdoor living spaces create a seamless connection to the surrounding hills and horizon. Inside, enduring materials and exceptional craftsmanship define the home: hardwood flooring, poplar trim, quartz surfaces, dovetailed maple cabinetry, a striking quartz fireplace, and a custom built-in media wall. Four bedrooms and three baths provide comfortable accommodations, while the private primary suite features dual walk-in closets, a generous bath, and direct outdoor access. The exterior pairs weathering metal, dimensional wood, stone, and a standing-seam roof for a distinctly modern profile that feels naturally at home in the landscape. A finished, heated two-car garage with tinted glass door is integrated into the architecture. Just minutes from Spearfish and the recreation of the Northern Black Hills, the property offers exceptional access to Spearfish Canyon, hiking and biking trails, skiing, fly-fishing, and some of South Dakota's most celebrated scenery. More than a residence, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a thoughtfully executed architectural home in one of the Black Hills' most compelling settings.

BUILT FROM A VISION - NOT A FLOOR PLAN. This one-of-a-kind custom home on 1.86 acres along Bridgestone Street reflects an extraordinary level of thought, craftsmanship, and personal design. Meticulously planned by the owner, the 6,340-square-foot residence was created to take full advantage of its setting, with expansive views toward Crow Peak, Lookout Mountain, and the peaceful valley below. From the tile roof and stucco exterior to the arched openings, custom finishes, and carefully framed outdoor spaces, every part of the home carries a sense of intention and individuality rarely found in Spearfish. The broad concrete approach, private courtyard entry, and oversized three-car garage establish an impressive arrival. Inside, the dramatic foyer immediately introduces the home’s distinctive character with soaring ceilings, clerestory windows, a statement chandelier, warm hand-finished walls, custom woodwork, tile flooring, sliding barn doors, and a striking fireplace. Unique handcrafted details continue throughout, including hand-painted tile stair risers and hand-chinked stair treads leading to the lower level, adding texture, artistry, and a true sense of craftsmanship. The main living area was designed around openness, natural light, and the surrounding views.The kitchen, dining area, and great room flow together while still feeling individually defined. The kitchen is anchored by an oversized granite island with dual sinks, extensive workspace, abundant storage, and generous seating. Custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, pendant lighting, and additional perimeter counters create a space equally suited for everyday cooking, large gatherings, and entertaining. Comfortable heated floors flow from the grand entryway, kitchen, dining area, and into the office. The adjoining great room features a linear fireplace framed by custom built-in cabinetry and floor-to-ceiling shelving. A broad wall of glass doors opens to the covered upper terrace, visually extending the living space outdoors. The nearby dining area is surrounded by large windows and offers direct terrace access, allowing the views of the valley, Crow Peak, and Lookout Mountain to become part of the room. The primary suite provides a spacious and private retreat with large windows, high ceilings, and ample room for a sitting area. A substantial walk-in closet includes custom built-in organization, while the private bathroom features dual vanities, a jetted soaking tub, cozy heated floor, and an oversized tiled walk-in shower with built-in seating. The additional bedrooms are generously proportioned, and a dedicated office provides a bright, comfortable space for remote work, study, or creative use. The walkout lower level is exceptionally spacious and designed as a complete extension of the home rather than secondary space. It includes a large family room with a second fireplace, an expansive recreation area with consistent warmth from the heated floors with room for billiards, table games, and multiple seating areas, plus extensive cabinetry, a sink, and a full-size refrigerator. Large glass doors bring in natural light and open directly to the covered lower patio. Additional bedrooms and bathrooms on this level create excellent separation and privacy for family members, guests, or multigenerational living.
