Notably, one of the best grass ranches to hit the market in South Dakota. Formally known as the 777 Bison Ranch, it is a well-blocked, mostly all-deeded offering. Expanding across over 26,000 acres just south of Rapid City and near the Black Hills. The Dakota Partnership Ranch lacks nothing from an operational standpoint and has high-quality yet practical improvements. A first-class owner's residence overlooks the long valley that makes up the heart of the ranch. Additionally, two manager/employee compounds are strategically located at both ends of the ranch, on the west and east. The ranch has been carefully handled and managed holistically, being a recipient of numerous conservation awards. The ranch is a cross-section of well-sodded plains and just enough Badlands to give the property a wild feel and be aesthetically pleasing. Currently stocked with 1,800 bison, the ranch is well-fenced, adequately watered, and operated efficiently. Designed and built to handle bison, the ranch should be an easy and smooth transition to a cattle operation if one is inclined. In the center of the ranch is a large, 160-plus acre top reservoir that provides recreation and a potential supply of irrigation water. The ranch is fenced into approximately 20 pastures, with water supplied in the form of natural springs, reservoirs, and developed water tanks supplied by two municipal water lines that run through the ranch. The huge expansion of land and diverse topography hosts a variety of wildlife, including deer, antelope, and plenty of upland birds.
