180 Acres of Recreational Land & Farm for Sale in Utica, South Dakota

A short jaunt off the main highway at the end of the winding gravel road, you will find this secluded grand custom-built log home. It has the most amazing views of the James River Valley. Walking up to the front door, you immediately notice the intricate craftsmanship of the hand-laid paver walkway. This intricacy continues as you walk in the front door with Black Walnut hardwood floors in the dining and grand rooms. As you tour the home, you realize no detail was too small to overlook during the building process. From the hand-hewn lodgepole pine logs, hardwood floors, and tiled railings around the loft perimeter, you are continually awed by the craftsmanship of this home. Walking out the garden level, you stand on the paver patio with a fire pit designed and laid by the owner and his son. If the home is not enough, it sits at the back end of 180 acres of Jim River bottomland, timbered river bluffs that roll into flat farmland on the top side of the river valley. A great mixture of habitat and cropland makes this property home to all wildlife. You can view and listen to turkeys strutting and gobbling in the spring. During the summer and winter nights, coyotes will serenad you while you view the Milky Way overhead. You may also see rutting bucks chasing does in November. Do not be surprised to even look out the window and see a bobcat walking through the yard one day. Property of this magnitude does not come along in Southeastern South Dakota, so do not miss your opportunity! Whether you are looking for your dream home, family vacation/hunting spot, a business such as a hunting lodge, or just a place for corporate retreats, this place fits the bill.
