19649 228th Ave, Milesville, SD 57553

1,730 acres for sale in western South Dakota bordering the Cheyenne River for one mile with thousands of cedar trees offering excellent hunting and superb wintertime livestock protection. This is a true "cowboy" ranch right out of the old west. Located at the very end of the trail, you will be hard-pressed to find a more scenic spot anywhere in western SD. Most of the work on this cattle operation is accomplished on horseback with the exception of feeding hay in the wintertime. When you drive into the ranch yard, you will notice the early-west type corrals, barn and loading chute. The home is a modest 1976 16x80 mfg home and the original old ranch home now houses the tractor for feeding cattle. Several pickup trails meander down the ridges and draws towards the north to the river, and on the eastern side, the trails lead down into the Plum Creek basin. Rural water is located on the property and is also piped not only to the home and corrals, but down into the large pasture to the east. This ranch, for a livestock operation, is ideal as a winter feeding and calving operation. The natural protection it offers is unmatched anywhere in the marketplace today. The possibilities for summertime lease across the river in Ziebach County are many and this is exactly what many ranchers in the area do for extra grass. WILD GAME - where do I start- A large number of wild turkey roost very near the ranch house in a huge old cottonwood tree. The deer are plentiful and include both mule deer and white-tailed deer which feed daily on the alfalfa near the home as well as the neighbor's cropland to the south. In the non-feeding hours, they are holed up within the confines of the vast cedar-filled draws and typically sun themselves on the sunny banks on cool winter days. Naturally, bobcats, coyotes, sage grouse, some pheasants and an occasional mountain lion can be found on this unique ranch. The Cheyenne River is renown for excellent catfish. If you are even remotely interested in a working cattle ranch with excellent hunting, we urge you to take a look at this unique offering.
