LandSeldom do you have an opportunity to purchase land bordering Custer State Park. The ranch adjoins Custer State Park on the western border. The Custer State Park Game Lodge is only 2 miles away as the crow flies and 6 road miles. The Wildlife Loop Road and airport are only 3.4 road miles away. The property is both secluded and easily accessible year around via a graveled county road. 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. This ranch has not been overgrazed and has been well managed. Elevations range from 3780 feet on the bottom to 4100 feet at the top of the ridge.
There are a few destination locations in the region where it is becoming increasingly challenging to find and acquire large acreage recreational properties. The Black Hills and the surrounding area is an example of this. With its proximity to Rapid City, Park View North represents an opportunity to purchase a substantial holding. The land is exceptionally scenic, very private and adjacent to a state park with vast amounts of wilderness to access. There are numerous choice building sites, and the land is not encumbered with a conservation easement.
RecreationThe Park View Ranch offers endless recreational possibilities for the outdoor enthusiast, both on the property and in nearby Custer Sate Park. Hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, and fishing in the summer combine with snowmobiling and cross-country skiing in the winter to create the perfect year-round retreat.
The ranch consists of several environments which support a very diverse collection of wildlife. The timber offers habitat for mule deer, elk, antelope, mountain lion and numerous other birds and smaller mammals. During the fall and into the winter months, herds of elk can be found residing on the ranch for multiple days at a time.
