Description
This 160-acre tract consists of a 40 +/- acre parcel and a 120 +/- acre parcel. It is located in western Harding County, adjacent to the Cave Hills, a unique geological formation that is part of the Custer National Forest region. Access to the property is provided via Craig Pass Road, just 1 mile off County Hwy 733, allowing convenient entry.
The land features open prairie terrain typical of the region, offering potential for hay cutting or grazing livestock. A creek traverses a portion of the property, providing a natural water source. The gently undulating terrain includes a mix of level grassland and slightly rolling ground, with several areas that may be suitable for building a residence, cabin, workshop, or other improvements.
Located just east of the Cave Hills, these butte-like formations add scenic interest and may provide natural wind protection in certain areas. The prairie setting presents opportunities for recreational property use such as hunting, wildlife observation, or enjoying a rural retreat.
The landscape offers flexibility: forage production, livestock grazing, light agricultural use such as baling hay, recreational use like hunting or wildlife watching, and potential for building.
Mineral rights will transfer with the sale, offering the buyer ownership of both the surface and subsurface estate. The property is situated in an area where oil activity is present, with producing wells and active pumps in the surrounding region. While no guarantee can be made regarding future production on this tract, the inclusion of mineral rights provides potential for resource development.
