ENTIRE FARM: Approximately 280.72 Acres in Three Tracts

If you have been searching for a well-balanced South Dakota farm that combines an updated rural residence, established livestock infrastructure, productive farmland, pasture, and recreational opportunities, this approximately 280-acre property near Stockholm in Grant County deserves a close look. Offered in three individual tracts, the property provides flexibility for livestock producers, row-crop farmers, investors, neighboring landowners, and buyers seeking a complete rural operation.

Tract 1 consists of approximately 151.85 acres and includes a five-bedroom, three-bathroom home, multiple agricultural outbuildings, pasture, open ground, and established livestock infrastructure. The main floor of the home underwent a significant renovation in 2016, improving the functionality of the living areas while maintaining the character of a rural residence. The basement includes improvements completed by Blackburn Basement Systems and supported by a lifetime warranty.

The farmstead is served by both rural water and an artesian well, providing multiple water resources for residential and agricultural use. The main barn features a recently installed roof with a 20-year transferable warranty. This level of infrastructure supports livestock systems, agricultural equipment, ventilation, feeding equipment, and other operational needs.

Tract 1 also holds a Class E Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation permit, allowing up to 298 animals. This permit, combined with the existing barns, water resources, pasture, and supporting infrastructure, may provide a valuable starting point for a livestock producer. Buyers should independently verify the permit’s status and applicable compliance requirements.

The soils on Tract 1 carry a 74.59 average Crop Productivity Index and a 68.16 average National Commodity Crop Productivity Index. These ratings add productive agricultural value to a tract already distinguished by its residence, pasture, livestock facilities, and water resources.

Tract 2 consists of approximately 81.61 acres, including approximately 64.83 acres of tillable land. The tillable soils feature an impressive 77.17 average Crop Productivity Index and a 69.79 average National Commodity Crop Productivity Index. These soil ratings reflect quality farmland for the region and offer strong potential for continued crop production or agricultural rental income.

Tract 3 consists of approximately 47.26 acres and is also primarily tillable. The soils carry a 75.00 average Crop Productivity Index and a 68.52 average National Commodity Crop Productivity Index. Its manageable size and productive soils make it an attractive addition to an existing farming operation or a potential standalone agricultural investment.

Together, the three tracts create a diversified agricultural property offering residential improvements, livestock capability, pasture, and productive cropland. The property may be operated as a complete farm, divided among multiple buyers, or assembled in combinations to suit a variety of ownership and operational goals.

Beyond its agricultural value, the property offers recreational appeal. The surrounding Grant County landscape includes cropland, pasture, wetlands, shelterbelts, and other habitat features that support whitetail deer, ring-necked pheasants, waterfowl, and additional wildlife. The combination of open agricultural fields and nearby cover creates opportunities for hunting, wildlife observation, and other outdoor activities.

The property is located just outside Stockholm, providing a quiet rural setting while remaining within a convenient drive of larger communities. Milbank is approximately 15 miles away, Watertown is about 30 miles away, and Sioux Falls is roughly 130 miles from the property. These communities provide access to agricultural services, grain markets, healthcare, shopping, employment, and major transportation routes.

Properties offering an updated home, livestock facilities, productive cropland, pasture, strong soil ratings, and multiple purchasing options are increasingly difficult to find.
