Cheyenne River Ranch - Rapid City, SD
Cheyenne River Ranch - Rapid City, SD
Cheyenne River Ranch is a truly magnificent legacy property, encompassing an extraordinary 15,920± total acres of untamed beauty just 30± minutes from the gateway of Rapid City, South Dakota. A rare gem in the American West, this storied ranch offers a seamless blend of working cattle operation, breathtaking scenery, and unparalleled recreational potential. This ranch provides 14,842± deeded acres, grazing permits, historical lands, and more.
The land stretches through covered hills, lush river valleys, and fertile hay fields. Rapid Creek meanders nearly 9 miles through the ranch, adding to the abundant water resources that sustain both livestock and wildlife. The wooded corridors along Rapid Creek create an ideal habitat and hunting ground for the trophy-grade whitetail deer that can be found there. One can also hunt for trophy-quality mule deer, pronghorn, and wild turkeys that call this expansive ranch home.
The ranch improvements are functional yet steeped in authentic charm: two well-situated homes, several working facilities, and numerous outbuildings form the operational heart of this ranch. Thirty miles of pipeline feed stock tanks and wells across the land, historically supporting year-round productive cow/calf operations and subsequently a leased buffalo grazing operation. Rich with irrigated and dryland hay production and teeming with trophy-class wildlife, Cheyenne River Ranch is both highly productive and a sanctuary of solitude.
Beyond its agricultural value, Cheyenne River Ranch presents extraordinary upside for the discerning investor. The acreage is an ideal candidate for a conservation easement, which could yield substantial federal tax credits.
Whether your legacy calls for an enduring cattle ranch, an unspoiled hunting paradise, or an iconic western retreat—Cheyenne River Ranch stands ready to meet your needs and exceed every vision you may have.
The sellers will cooperate in the transfer of any federal leases.
Priced below multiple reputable appraisals.
