Lawrence County - 20072 Bear Ridge Ranch, Spearfish, SD
Bear Ridge Compound is a 120-acre turnkey property on Bear Ridge Road in the Black Hills region of western South Dakota. The property rises from Beaver Creek on the east boundary through rolling pasture, stands of ponderosa pine and hardwood timber, three interior canyons, to improved benches where the main residence, the Cow Palace lodge, a private grass airstrip, and two fully finished guest cabins are sited.
Land
The property contains 120 contiguous deeded acres platted into two parcels the East 80 and the West 40 as described in the recorded plat. Topography varies from level improved benches at the residential and lodge areas to three steep, timbered canyons that cut into the property from the east and south. Elevations rise from the lower meadows along Beaver Creek on the east boundary to the open bench country on the west. The land offers a combination of hayed meadow, improved pasture, timbered canyon walls, and rocky outcroppings that typify the transition country where the Black Hills meet the surrounding prairie.
The West 40 encompasses the improved western bench where the main residence is sited, mature ornamental grounds, and the primary Bear Ridge Road approach.
The East 80 encompasses the operational bench ground carrying the lodge, airstrip, and shop complex, and transitions east through open pasture, tree belts, and the three interior canyons to the spring canyon and one-acre pond at the eastern boundary. Beaver Creek forms the eastern boundary of the property. The spring canyon feeding the pond retains seasonal flow and supports the wildlife habitat across the eastern reaches of the East 80. Two fully finished cabins at 2,400 and 1,700 square feet are sited near the pond on the east end, providing immediate habitability for guest and family use.
The game fence perimeter is approximately 1.1 miles in total length, enclosing the managed habitat. Interior rock and gravel road and pad infrastructure measures approximately 2,474 linear feet across the property, providing all-weather access to primary improvements on both parcels. Seasonal dirt trails extend beyond the cabin sites into the back-country canyons of the East 80, accessing the most secluded ground on the property. Soil types on the improved benches are loam to clay loam, with rockier soils on canyon sides and alluvial ground along the spring and lower eastern boundary. Buyers seeking specific soil capability ratings may consult the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey using the recorded legal description.
A live spring feeds a one-acre pond on the east end of the property. Over 1.1 miles of game fencing encloses the perimeter, containing a managed wildlife habitat that has matured under the current ownership.
The ranch is organized around two complementary zones. The West 40 holds the 6,536 square foot custom main residence, mature ornamental grounds, and improved primary access from Bear Ridge Road. The East 80 holds the Cow Palace lodge, the 1,750-foot private grass runway, the full shop complex, the primary water wells and cisterns, two fully finished guest cabins at 2,400 and 1,700 square feet, and the spring-fed pond a self-contained operational and recreational estate capable of running entirely independent of the main residenc
Improvements
West 40 Residential Parcel
The main residence is a 6,536 square foot custom home with an attached two-car garage. The main floor features 2 master bedrooms, one with a rock fireplace, a mud room with bath and laundryand full kitchen with new appliances. The large great room has a rock fireplace sourced from the property. The lower floor has a second full kitchen, bedroom with full bath and 2 walk-in closets and a second laundry room. The great room has a private entrance allowing the lower level to be a totallyseparate living facility. This level also features 6000 bottle wine room and an additional gun/hobby room. The upper level is currently being utilized as an office and could be utilized as one or two additional bedrooms. It has a full bathroom.
Wraparound decking covers 1,473 square feet across two sides of the home, capturing the prevailing views from the improved bench. Concrete drives and walks total 3,500 square feet. Supporting outbuildings include a 504 square foot ATV shed and a 240 square foot meat shed. There is also a large root cellar on the north side of the house. The home yard contains seventy mature trees, a west tree belt, a house tree belt, raised and curbed tree and flower beds, and five mature apple trees. All landscaping is fully established and requires no startup capital to maintain at its current presentation level.
East 80 Operational and Recreational Parcel
The Cow Palace lodge measures 2,264 square feet and is configured as a full-service lodge capable of hosting hunting parties, family gatherings, and extended guest stays entirely independent of the main residence. The lodge has a western theme and features a full kitchen and wet bar. It is set up to accommodate 20 bunk beds in 2 separate rooms. Between the rooms are 3 sinks, 3 showers, 2 toilets, 2 urinals and a laundry area. The lodge sits near the grass airstrip, placing arriving aircraft and lodge guests within minimal ground travel of each other.
The private grass airstrip is a 1,750-foot turf runway oriented to the prevailing local winds. This improvement is among the rarest amenities in the Black Hills land market at this acreage and cannot be permitted, sited, and constructed at will on most properties in the region. The airstrip positions the ranch within a same-day private flight of the Colorado Front Range, the Twin Cities, and the Texas market, making the property genuinely accessible as a primary retreat from any of those origin points.
The shop complex consists of 3 buildings: the original shop at 830 square feet, a tarp shed at 448 square feet, and a new shop at 1,536 square feet. The new shop was completed in 2025 and is set up to be a large greenhouse is desired. The three buildings collectively provide storage, equipment servicing, and workshop capacity for both ranch operations and aviation support.
Two fully finished guest cabins are sited near the spring-fed pond on the east end of the parcel. Cabin 1 measures 2,400 square feet and Cabin 2 measures 1,700 square feet. Both are move-in ready with no finish work remaining. The combination of the lodge and two fully finished cabins give the East 80 the capacity to host multiple parties simultaneously under a single ownership. Supporting structures near the pond include a 120 square foot pond house and a 200 square foot cannon shed.
Two operating water wells with an inverter serve the property. Five installed cisterns provide stored capacity for domestic, livestock, and emergency use. The full water infrastructure is located within the East 80 and serves both parcels under the recorded well share agreement delivered at closing. A 55 KW generator is centrally located and can provide power to all buildings.
Property-Wide
Approximately 1.1 miles of game fencing with gates and braces encloses the perimeter. Interior fencing includes two-rail and three-rail sections consistent with the property's multipurpose use. Rock and gravel road and pad infrastructure totaling approximately 2,474 linear feet provides all-weather access to the primary improvements across both parcels.
Recreation
The recreational program at the Bear Ridge Compound is defined by three elements that rarely converge on a single Black Hills property at this size: a private grass airstrip, a managed game-fenced habitat, and a live spring-fed pond. Wildlife known to frequent the property include: Elk, Two deer species (whitetail & mule deer), Mountain Lion, Bobcat, Fox, Coyote, Dove, Grouse and an Occasional Pheasant.
Each of these stands alone as a meaningful amenity. Together they constitute a recreational compound without a direct comparable in the current marketplace.
The airstrip places the ranch within a short flight of most regional destinations and opens the property to buyers for whom aviation is part of daily life. Buyers from Colorado, Minnesota, or Texas arrive by private aircraft and are at the Cow Palace lodge within minutes of landing. No commercial connection, rental car, or extended ground drive is required.
The game-fenced interior has been managed under the current ownership and has produced mature resident wildlife documented on trail cameras throughout the property. Open benches, timbered canyons, water, and established cover combine to support both resident and transient species. The three interior canyons offer natural travel corridors and secluded stand locations. The spring canyon feeding the east pond is the most undisturbed ground on the property, offering wildlife observation at a level that open or unmanaged ground of this size rarely achieves.
The one-acre spring-fed pond holds water year-round. The pond house and the two fully finished cabins are positioned to take full advantage of the east country, offering wildlife viewing and a private retreat separated from the operational core of the ranch by the natural terrain of the spring canyon and surrounding timbered slopes. Cabin 1 at 2,400 square feet and Cabin 2 at 1,700 square feet are both move-in ready, providing immediate capacity for family groups, hunting parties, or extended guest stays all without displacing occupants of the main residence or the Cow Palace lodge.
Additional recreational infrastructure includes the ATV shed, the interior road and pad network, and the seasonal trails extending into the back-country canyons beyond the cabin sites. The lodge, the two fully finished cabins, the airstrip, and the fenced habitat together deliver a complete recreational program capable of hosting multiple groups simultaneously under a single ownership.

Spearfish is ideally situated in the scenic valley of Spearfish Creek and at the mouth of Spearfish Canyon.
Known as the Queen City, Spearfish is surrounded by three prominent mountain peaks Lookout Mountain, Spearfish Mountain, and Crow Peak which form a crown circling the city. Spearfish derived its name from Native Americans and fur traders or trappers in the early 1800's who considered the clear and tumbling stream through the canyon a good place to spear fish.
In 1877, the first store was opened along with a United States Post Office. The Spearfish Normal School, now known as Black Hills State University, was established in 1883. In 1893, a railroad was built through Spearfish Canyon. This route soon became an outstanding scenic attraction of the Black Hills, and a roadway replaced the railroad through Spearfish Canyon.
The Federal Fish Hatchery, established in 1898, is known as the D.C. Booth Historic Fish Hatchery. In 1906, Matthew's Opera House opened as the center of entertainment in Spearfish. After extensive renovation, Matthew's Opera House still provides an historic setting for the visual and dramatic arts. Spearfish continues to grow and prosper. The community is a focal point for tourism, is rich in history, arts and entertainment and is a retail trade center. With Spearfish's resort like natural setting, its business, educational, and cultural opportunities, it is a wonderful place to visit and to live.
