The Rafter R Ranch in Custer County, South Dakota has 485± deeded acres and excellent big game hunting, all just 27 miles from Rapid City, the gateway to the Black Hills. The ranch boasts spectacular views. Expansive Custer State Park views to the west. It is only about 2 miles from the Wildlife Loop, Park Airport and in 15 minutes you can be having lunch at The Custer Park Game Lodge. About two-thirds of the ranch is comprised of gently rolling pastures and meadows, with the remainder in Black Hills spruce, ponderosa pine, birch, aspen, and oak--excellent habitat for the large elk, deer, mountain lion and wild turkey that abound here. The fabulous home was built in 2000 and has 4125 square feet of finished living space. The gourmet kitchen is a cook’s dream. The home is timber framed and the exterior is mostly rock and glass. There is an attached underground 2198 square foot garage and over 6000 square feet of paver patio. There is also a rock barn and a 1200 square foot guest house with 2 bedrooms and a full bath. The property is both secluded and easily accessible year around via a graveled county road. Multiple wells and ponds provide necessary water for livestock and big game. Improvements are functional and include working corrals. Most of the perimeter and some pastures are fenced. There are additional adjoining tracts available to assemble a large holding in The Black Hills, and rarely does one of this size become available so close to Rapid City and Custer State Park
