Best of Both Worlds - Wilderness ~And~ Comforts

Great Home on over seventeen scenic acres - very private!! Bordered by hundreds of acres of National Forest. This contemporary 'A' frame home has three bedrooms,(two king beds and one queen bed) two baths, a loft with a daybed/trundle, and a queen sofa bed. Two bunk beds with three twins and one full size bed are in the 'Bunkhouse' in another structure about 50 feet from the house. Very private views of trees, meadows and abundant wildlife.

Bring your horses for a ride through the wilderness and then let them rest in the fenced acreage with a two stall stable, tack room and large corral.

This property is secluded, yet only minutes from historic Custer, with great restaurants and unique shops. A short drive will take you to Custer State Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, Crazy Horse Monument, Mount Rushmore National Monument, Wind Cave National Park, Needles Highway, Stockade Lake, Bismark Lake, Sylvan Lake, and Legion Lake. Only 30 miles to the south is Historic Hot Springs which has shopping, restaurants and 'Evans Plunge'- a large natural warm water indoor swimming pool that features several slides and an outdoor pool in the summer.

Perfect Location Close to Custer
Seven guys stayed at the house for a week while turkey hunting. The house adjoined the Black Hills National Forest and was only about 10 miles to town. We had no issues with any of the appliances. There were plenty of beds if you use the bunkhouse. The Internet connectivity was a lot slower (about 15mbps) than what I am used to, but it worked fine. I highly recommend it.

Off the beaten path
The house is about a mile off the highway, no other houses nearby, very peaceful and quiet, only ten minutes to Jewel Cave to the west and Custer to the east. Be sure to explore Custer State Park, especially the Wildlife Loop Road - we saw many bison, a pronghorn grazing next to the road, wild burros, and a coyote hunting prairie dogs.
