Land

N.W. Ranch is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own 2,157± contiguous acres of premier recreational land in the heart of South Dakota’s legendary pheasant country. For nearly 40 years, the ranch has been meticulously developed and professionally managed with a primary focus on creating and preserving exceptional wildlife habitat. The result is a true sportsman’s paradise, where strong pheasant and waterfowl hunting are complemented by impressive whitetail deer and thriving wild turkey populations.
 A defining feature of N.W. Ranch is the extensive network of mature shelter belts planted over 30 years ago and strategically designed specifically for wildlife. These miles of established trees and cover provide ideal protection, nesting areas, travel corridors, and winter habitat for pheasants, deer, and turkey. Combined with multiple established food plots, 200 +/- acres of tillable fields that provide abundant food sources, native grass habitat, and diverse terrain, the ranch has all the key ingredients needed to sustain incredible wildlife populations year after year.
Multiple damned ponds are scattered throughout the property, providing waterfowl hunting during the fall and winter months. N.W. Ranch also benefits from a spring fed creek which meanders through the heart of the property. These reliable water sources, paired with the surrounding food and cover, create an ideal setting for waterfowl to rest and feed throughout the migration.
While the recreational qualities of N.W. Ranch are second to none, the property also remains a highly functional cattle operation. The ranch has been strategically cross-fenced to allow efficient rotational grazing while ensuring livestock pressure does not negatively impact the carefully developed wildlife habitat. This thoughtful design allows the owner to generate agricultural income without compromising the ranch’s incredible hunting qualities. The ranch currently supports 250+/- pairs through the summer grazing season. 
The headquarters includes a beautifully remodeled six-bedroom farmhouse capable of comfortably sleeping up to 12 guests, making it the perfect hunting lodge or family retreat. Additional improvements include a 50’ x 30’ metal shop for equipment and storage, as well as a standalone insulated dog kennel built for hunting dogs and year-round use.
N.W. Ranch is being offered as a true turnkey recreational property, including ranch vehicles, deer blinds, and furnishings, allowing a new owner to immediately step into a fully developed hunting operation from day one.

The Gregory Airport has paved runways and can accommodate aircrafts like King Air’s for convenient travel to the property.
