Bear Ridge Retreat is an 80 acre Black Hills recreational and operational estate with a 1,750 foot private grass airstrip, the 2,264 square foot Cow Palace lodge, two fully finished guest cabins, a three-building shop complex, two operating water wells with five installed cisterns, a 55 kilowatt generator, and a one-acre spring-fed pond. The property offers an exceptional combination of privacy and natural beauty. Bear Ridge Retreat, situated on the doorstep of the Black Hills National Forest, this 80+/- acre ranch has served as a private retreat and commercial event venue under current ownership. With a sleeping capacity of 28 guests in a rustic yet elegant compound including The Cow Palace Lodge and two log cabins, a new owner may wish to continue operations or reserve the use exclusively for family and friends. The ranch has an attractive mix of meadows and forests in a diverse topography. Clean water and crisp, invigorating air are abundant here in a region considered one of the most diverse, intact ecosystems on our region. The property is convenient to a full array of services, including the town of Spearfish only 11 miles away and an international airport in Rapid City within 60 minutes of the property's front gate. The western portion is level improved bench, which is what makes the runway and the shop pads possible. The ground then transitions east through open pasture and established tree belts into three steep, timbered canyons that cut into the parcel from the east and south. Elevation falls to the lower meadows along Beaver Creek on the east boundary. The spring canyon above the pond is the most secluded and least disturbed ground on the entire 80 acres. Land composition is a working mix: hayed meadow and improved pasture on the benches, ponderosa pine and mixed hardwood on the canyon walls, rocky outcroppings on the breaks, and alluvial ground along the spring drainage and the lower eastern boundary. Access is from Bear Ridge Road by way of an interior road that has been cut in to serve the parcel, with gravel scheduled. A permanent access easement will be recorded in favor of this 80 acres across the adjoining parcel, giving this parcel deeded, year-round legal access. The adjoining 40 acres and custom home is also available. Interior rock and gravel road and pad infrastructure measuring approximately 2,474 linear feet across the assembled property provides all-weather access to the improvements. Seasonal dirt trails extend beyond the cabin sites into the back-country canyons.
