Dead Horse Flats Retreat
Custer County, South Dakota
88 acres - $349,000

Secluded Western South Dakota property with 88 acres which borders the Black Hills National Forest on 3 sides. This remote setting is right in the middle of elk country. The elk have been  seen wintering in the area around the property. The elevation is in the range of 5,600 feet with terrain that includes meadows flanked by hillsides with pine trees and a few pockets of aspen trees. Most years hay is harvested on the meadows. Forest Service Road 281 loops through the property and it’s about 24 miles to Highway 16 at the Boles Canyon Road entrance. FS Road 281 connects to several other roads that go toward Custer, Newcastle and deeper into the Black Hills. Improvements include two log cabins built from logs that were harvested on the land, a school house, and pole barn. The main cabin has a generator hookup, propane lights & heat and also a wood stove. The property lays in the Dead Horse Flats area and is close to Gillette Canyon and South Antelope Spring. About 10 years ago a wildfire went through the area, the majority of the timber on this property was saved, but the trees on the National Forest were burnt. This is a great out-of-the way place for a hunting base camp, summer vacation spot, recreational retreat or a winter snowmobile destination. So remote you’ll feel like you’ve gone back in time.
