FOR SALE BY OWNER | Rare Black Hills Creekside Home | 15 Minutes to Rapid City
Tucked into the Black Hills directly along Rapid Creek, this home offers a rare combination of privacy, mountain scenery, and convenience. The setting feels secluded, yet Rapid City is only about 15 minutes away and Ellsworth AFB is roughly 35 minutes.
The property sits on approximately 0.77 acres, stretching from the top of the mountainside down to Rapid Creek and around toward the bridge and street. The pond on the property is also included with the property, giving you a unique mix of wooded hillside, creek frontage, and your own pond. Flood insurance is not required for the home.
The property offers a peaceful creekside setting with fishing, wildlife, and a nice sense of privacy. Pactola Lake, Sheridan Lake, Roubaix, Lead, Deadwood, and Spearfish are all within about an hour.
Inside, the home has warm wood finishes, comfortable living spaces, and beautiful Black Hills views.
The home underwent a VA inspection and was approved for VA financing when we purchased it approximately one year ago.
We love the property, but our family has grown and we simply need more space.
Selling directly by owner, with someone available to handle the necessary paperwork, helping keep the transaction simple and potentially saving both sides thousands in traditional real estate costs.
If you are looking for a private Black Hills home close to Rapid City, this one is worth seeing
