Custer County, SD Land for Sale
The Lame Johnny Creek Farm is predominantly utilized in crop production. With sub-irrigation from the famed Lame Johnny Creek and highly productive soils, the results are highly impressive. Crop production indexes are mainly in the mid 80’s with the Nunn Loam soils reaching 87. The farm has low over head improvements that are more than substantial. The 38’ wide and 48’ long shop is a well-built structure that is set on the southern end of the farm. The late model shop has full insulation and concrete flooring throughout. Also featured within the shop is a two room living area that would make the space double as a fantastic hunting headquarters. The hunting along the Lame Johnny Creek corridor is second to none. Trophy caliber white tail and mule deer are harvested often as well as an abundance of upland water foul, turkey, pheasant, grouse, coyote, and more. Serene living in a beautiful area on the prairie and within an hours drive of Rapid City, this versatile property is a standout in any market.
