Welcome to Wilson Ranch—an exceptional 86.33-acre legacy property nestled deep in the heart of the Black Hills, completely surrounded by U.S. Forest Service land. Originally homesteaded in 1918, this rare offering blends historic charm with modern off-grid functionality, making it ideal for ranching, horses, or simply escaping to your own private wilderness retreat. The land features a mix of open grazing pasture, timbered shelter, and prime hunting grounds regularly visited by elk, whitetail and mule deer, and wild turkey. With no close neighbors—approximately 10 miles to the east, 8 miles south, and 8 miles west—this parcel offers ultimate privacy and boundless recreation, with direct access to hundreds of acres of public land. In a wide-open clearing sits the original homestead, complete with a half-log sided cabin, bunkhouse, and a classic two-seater outhouse—reminiscent of scenes from an old Western film. Despite its remote location, the property is thoughtfully outfitted with solar and generator power, propane heaters, a tankless water heater, cast iron tub, propane stove & washer hookup. All outbuildings are built on piers and blend rustic design with practical living. The fully fenced acreage is divided into three pastures with 11 gates offering access to surrounding Forest Service lands. Every direction reveals sweeping mountain views and the untouched beauty of the Black Hills. A truly rare find—Wilson Ranch offers peace, privacy, and the spirit of the Old West.
