86.3 acres in Custer County, SD

Welcome to Wilson Ranch 86.33 deeded acres of prime, historic ranchland surrounded by U. S. Forest Service land. Homesteaded in 1918, this legacy property offers outstanding potential for cattle, horse operations, or diversified farming, with a strong foundation already in place for an off-grid agricultural lifestyle. The land is fully fenced with four-strand barbed wire and cross-fenced into three pastures, making it ideal for rotational grazing. Eleven gates provide direct access to surrounding public land, expanding your usable range and offering unmatched flexibility for livestock movement or haying. With a mix of open grassland and sheltered timber, the terrain supports both grazing and wildlife habitat frequented by elk, mule and whitetail deer, and wild turkey. This makes it not only a productive agricultural asset but also an excellent recreational or hunting property. The original homestead includes a half-log sided cabin, bunkhouse, and a two-seater outhouse. Despite the remote, off-grid setting, modern amenities are in place: solar and generator power, propane heating, a tankless water heater, propane range, cast iron tub, and a washer hookup. All structures are built on piers for durability and easy maintenance. Whether you're looking to expand your current operation, start a sustainable ranch, or simply escape to a piece of historic land rich in potential, Wilson Ranch offers the space, infrastructure, and natural resources to make it happen.
