Description
This 10-acre tract offers a substantial parcel of land situated in Pennington County, South Dakota, within the boundaries of the Black Hills National Forest and with frontage on Rapid Creek. The property presents a mix of wooded terrain, creek edge, and trail access, making it suitable for a variety of recreational uses, land holding, or future development (subject to local permitting).
Located along Rapid Creek, the property benefits from a natural water-feature corridor, which enhances the overall setting and may contribute to varied terrain and vegetation. The parcel also has direct access to the Mickelson Trail, a significant regional non-motorized trail system that offers hiking, biking, horseback riding and connects to broader trail networks within the Black Hills.
Important infrastructure features include: electric service currently available on site; the soil has been prepped for septic system installation; and a well site has been defined, providing a head start on utility readiness. The property has undergone tree clean-up, improving access and making portions of the tract more accessible. No covenants restrict the usage of the land, offering flexibility for a new owner.
From a land-use perspective, beautiful views from the potential building sites on the upper portion of the property, the parcel is large enough to provide multiple potential sites for residence, cabin, or recreational base camp. The wooded environment within the Black Hills forest provides a private feel while remaining accessible. Water access along Rapid Creek adds a scenic element and may support creek-side activities (subject to applicable regulations and seasonal conditions). The trail connection presents an additional asset for outdoor recreation.
When considering location, the parcel is positioned in a wildland-forest context with nearby rural communities and town centers accessible for supplies, services, and amenities. The closest larger city is Rapid City, which lies to the east as the primary regional hub and airport access point. Nearby features include Rochford, Mickelson Trail, and Pactola Lake.
The forest setting means the land is also part of the broader ecosystem of the Black Hills National Forest, which spans over 1.25 million acres and offers abundant wildlife, trails, and scenic settings.
For a buyer seeking acreage in Pennington County with recreational land, creek frontage, trail access, and utility hookups already started, this property offers a strong foundation. It may appeal to individuals looking to build a recreation base, a private retreat, or to invest in land with scenic attributes. Because it is situated in the national forest environment, prospective owners should confirm applicable land-use regulations, access rights, private vs public roads, and utilities availability with local agencies and service providers.
In summary, this acreage combines a quiet natural environment, direct trail access, creek frontage, utility infrastructure pre-work, and no covenants — all within the Pennington County portion of the Black Hills. It presents a clear opportunity for recreational land ownership or future development.
