Whether you are a producer looking to expand operations, an investor seeking strong returns, or an outdoor enthusiast dreaming of a private hunting sanctuary, this tract checks all the boxes.
Out of the total 479 acres, approximately 380 acres are currently in active row crop production. The land boasts a Soil Productivity Index of 77.48, supporting consistent yields year after year. The primary crops grown include corn, soybeans, and wheat, typical for the region and well-suited to the soil profile. This tillable ground has been well cared for with conservation practices in mind, and it represents a significant income-producing asset for any agricultural operator or investor.
The property also includes 45 acres enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), offering the dual benefit of annual income and long-term conservation value. These CRP acres enhance soil health, prevent erosion, and contribute to habitat diversity across the landscape.
Approximately 50 acres of mixed grassland and mature tree cover round out the property, creating a picturesque and ecologically rich environment. This portion of the land serves as excellent bedding and travel corridors for wildlife and offers strong potential for habitat enhancement, native prairie restoration, or additional CRP enrollment.
For the outdoor enthusiast, this property is a hunter's dream. The diverse habitat supports thriving populations of whitetail deer and ring-necked pheasants, both of which are abundant in this region of South Dakota. The blend of cropland, CRP, tree belts, and water access creates an ideal environment for managing a top-tier recreational hunting property. The property already offers strong hunting opportunities and could be further developed into a high-end private or commercial hunting retreat.
Adding even more value, the property features existing utilities, including electric service and a well, making it a prime candidate for building.
