Willow Creek Ranch

Ranch Description

Approximately 1,600 acres of highly choice South Dakota grazing and hunting land for sale in Haakon County. Owned for 52 years by the current owners, they are only selling because they've acquired more land lying adjacent to their headquarters ranch in Jackson County. Located just 2 miles off Hwy 14 east of Philip, SD, this nice grass/hunting unit offers ease of access, yet ultimate privacy from passersby. Features include: over 2.5 miles of Willow Creek frontage that flows nearly down the center of this unit and contains year round springs throughout the creek. Aptly named, this creek also contains a great covering of willow trees along the creek banks offering summer shade, winter protection and excellent game habitat. The fertile bottom lands could be cut for hay if so desired. The owners have traditionally ran 160 pairs and breeding heifers on this unit from May 1 to Nov. 15 and, in so doing, one would never guess that it had been grazed. The grass is healthy and abundant. The fences are above average and the unit is fenced into 2 large pastures along with a small 80 acre pasture for early heifer breeding purposes. There is an excellent water well near the old homestead and has a pipeline with tanks into each of the pastures. However, there is so much natural water throughout this unit, combined with the nice stock dams, that this well was really only used in the last several decades in the years 2004 & 2006. If you are in the market for an excellent unit, we urge you to act quickly as we do not believe this offering will last long.
