Picturesque and productive Wyoming ranch on the western side of the Black Hills with five miles of Inyan Kara Creek meandering through the property. 5,392 deeded acres plus adjoining leases including a 640 acre State Lease and 480 acres of BLM Lease.

The dramatic combination of topographical characteristics provide for stunning scenery and an... more excellent environment for wildlife. The creek bottoms, expansive valleys, and hidden meadows combined with wooded hills, deep draws with rimrock ledges, open grasslands and high plateaus with long range views make this a truly magnificent landscape. Ponderosa pine, cedar, bur oak, cottonwood, and aspen trees plus sagebrush, choke cherries, wild raspberries, wild roses, and a plethora of native bushes & wild flowers complete the scenery. The fields on the western side of the ranch along Inyan Kara Creek have historically been irrigated with side roll systems. There are also dryland fields on the property. The Arch Creek drainage runs through the western portion of the deeded land. On the hills overlooking the creek there is evidence of tepee rings, also petrified wood has been found on the property. Several old homesteads on the property silently whisper tales of days gone by.

Area wildlife includes elk, whitetail deer, mule deer, antelope, turkey, mountain lion, bobcat, coyote, fox, eagles and hawks. There is an abundant population of deer and the elk herd in the area has been growing in recent years. Brown trout and rainbow trout were stocked in Inyan Kara Creek a few years ago.

The ranch has two sets of improvements. The southern headquarters includes a three bedroom log home, two-car garage with trophy room overhead and a top quality 40’x80’ horse barn that features lean-to’s on each side, 4 inside stalls, wash bay, tack room, indoor training area, hay storage in the loft and outside pens for horses. In the west-central part of the ranch there is a three bedroom ranch style home with outbuildings including a steel quonset, lambing shed and barn.

In addition to the two creeks, other water resources include wells, springs, reservoirs and several miles of new pipeline that is nearing completion.

Even though the property is remote and rugged, miles of trails runs throughout the land and makes it accessible for much of the year. The trails would be a plus for those wanting to go horseback riding, have hiking paths, or exploring on mountain bikes, ATVs, snowmobiles or cross country skis.

The property is in a great location 20 miles southwest of Sundance, Wyoming and less than 5 miles from Interstate 90. Gillette, Wyoming and Spearfish, South Dakota are both within a one-hour drive of the property. Nearby recreation sites include Keyhole Reservoir & State Park, the Black Hills National Forest and Devils Tower Monument.

The property is currently operated as a working ranch, but the prospects exist for a wide range of recreational and commercial endeavors including a western adventure destination, a hunting & fishing lodge, guest ranch, corporate or private retreat.
