**Listed by Michelle Chenoweth, eXp Realty | 605.461.1824** Searching for your own piece of the Black Hills? This one is truly special. Ideally located in the heart of the Hills with year-round access directly off US Highway 385, this unique property places you just minutes from Pactola Lake, Sheridan Lake, and the Black Forest Inn. The main residence features 3+ bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, complemented by a separate rustic log cabin complete with a sleeping loft. The current owners have successfully operated the property as a VRBO, enjoying the cabin as their private getaway while hosting guests. They have also completed numerous improvements throughout the property (see improvement list). Step onto the back deck and unwind as spring-fed Prairie Creek gently meanders through the property, creating a peaceful and picturesque setting. Additional amenities include a full RV hookup with 50-amp service, water, and septic, along with two separate septic systems for added convenience and flexibility. Adding even more character, the rustic log cabin was originally relocated from the valley that became Pactola Reservoir before the lake was created. The property also includes a 16x24 carport and, best of all, **NO COVENANTS**, giving you the freedom to use and enjoy the property your way. This isn't just a home—it's a rare opportunity to own a piece of Black Hills history and create memories in an incredible mountain retreat. Call today for your showing!
