Freebird Ranch, located right in scenic Nemo, is offering for sale its most stunning property, The Lodge at Nemo. The Lodge is the only one of its kind in the area and has stables for horses, garage space for ATVs, and offers a fly-fishing trout stream. This 6-bedroom home is completely furnished with the finest antiques and accouterments and is being sold turnkey. The home is currently a vacation rental and new owners must honor existing bookings which would be managed by the current owners to preserve the experience they expected.
Nemo, located in a valley set within the Northern portion of the Black Hills, is a beautiful and historic small village with one church, one store, one gas pump and one restaurant and no stop lights. Living in Nemo is exceptional with its abundance of beautiful scenery, wildlife and friendly South Dakotans.
This semi-rural location is perfect for privacy while being close to larger towns like Rapid City and Deadwood for dining, entertainment and shopping. In Nemo you can easily access outdoor activities by just stepping out your door. Or in this residence just look out your windows to view the bald eagles, wild turkeys, mountain bluebirds, red-tail hawks, deer and other wildlife that visit.
Nemo is an unincorporated town which eliminates a tier of government offering more property freedom. The Lodge is accessed by Nemo Road, which is a paved, two-lane road and is well-cared for by our county. The area is surrounded by the National Forest and is well-populated with ponderosa pine, aspen groves, bubbling creeks and beautiful rock formations. Nemo is adored by all that live or visit here.
The Lodge at Nemo is a stunning multi-family residence that faces Nemo's soaring rock ridge providing an unobstructed million-dollar view. The scenery can be appreciated from all areas of the home as immense care was taken to ensure a view from each room.
The Lodge's porte-cochere is of grand design offering a log accented covered entrance. Upon entering this luxurious home you are immediately welcomed by the towering, locally collected, slate-rock fireplace that is the center of a spacious great room's vaulted ceilings that are accented with massive lodge pole pine logs. The interior of the home presents warmly with red oak flooring and floor to ceiling Pella windows and patio doors, all with between the glass blinds.
The 6500 square foot home has three wings which we have named the Eagle, the Heron and the Bluebird. All three have their own great rooms, full baths, kitchens, dining and living spaces. Each also has their own gas fireplace. In addition, they all have 2 large bedrooms and laundry. The Eagle and the Bluebird have exterior connections via patio doors that open to the wrap around cedar decking. The Bluebird has a cedar deck ramp for those who should need one. The Heron is at walkout level and has Pella windows and glass patio doors that lead to a concrete deck with moss rock accented pillars.
Purchased in 2018, the current owners gave the residence a complete face lift. First and foremost, the land originally included 2.27 acres. This offering is for an additional 5 acres which enables the purchaser to now own the property's adjacent land which will protect the view as well as extending the back yard to the mountain and a beautiful world-class fly-fishing stream. The barn's current indoor stable that opens to the current paddock extends conveniently right into this additional parcel which is beautiful pasture and grazing land with a private well.
Other amenities include 8 wall mounted televisions, 60mb DSL and a local AT&T tower that is currently adding Verizon service. We added an Alexa to each great room and connected vintage Klipsch speakers. We extended the internet service to the barn's office, as well. All lighting was converted to LED.
Prior to our purchase of the Lodge in 2018 a new roof was installed on both the house and the barn.
