Where sporting opportunity meets working land and expansive native pasture
Located in Lyman County, South Dakota, this grass pasture provides a balanced mix of utility and recreational opportunity. The property is made up of rolling hills and open native grasslands that serve both livestock and wildlife. The ground supports strong native grasses suitable for grazing, while the terrain also creates a natural draw for mule deer and upland birds. With thicker cover along draws and more open stretches of pasture, the land functions well for both livestock use and seasonal hunting. The lower elevation portion of the ranch provides forage through the winter, and nearby farmland provides additional excellent food sources.
The property’s agricultural value comes from its native grass production and fertile bottom ground, making it well-suited for cattle operations. New owners have the flexibility to lease it back to the current owners, manage it as open pasture, enhance wildlife habitat, or add improvements to fit operational needs. Build sites are available in several locations, providing options for a hunting cabin or a small set of working facilities.
Access is practical and convenient. At just 35± minutes from Winner and Chamberlain, South Dakota, the property is within reach of local services while still offering open space and limited pressure on wildlife. The Lake Francis Recreation Area is six miles from the property, and recreational activities include fishing, hiking, biking, horseback riding, and exploring the natural scenery along the 107± m ile-long reservoir.
