For an astounding $31.7 million, a nearly 27,000-acre untamed and rough bison ranch in South Dakota is up for sale.
With a five-bedroom main residence at its heart, the Dakota Partnership Ranch is undoubtedly the most expensive property on the public market in Mount Rushmore State, given its eight-figure price tag.

The ranch, which is located south of Rapid City and close to the Black Hills mountain range, is a “serious trophy property,” according to listing agent Mike Fraley of Hall & Hall, which listed the property earlier this month.
As Fraley put it, “The ranch has it all.”
“Very nice upgrades, water, and different terrain.”
Furthermore, he said, “you really have no neighbors because from its center, you are several miles in each direction to the property boundary.”

According to Fraley, “it’s not common to have a listing over 10,000 deeded acres, let alone over 25,000 deeded acres” in the area, adding even more rarity to the Dakota Partnership Ranch.
The ranch is traversed by ten miles of Dry Creek and features a variety of topography, including grass plains, ridges, natural springs, ponds, and badlands.
According to Fraley, badlands are chalky buttes and ridges that aren’t always the best places for cattle to graze.
However, there aren’t nearly enough badlands on the ranch to qualify as barren land—just “just enough to be scenically beautiful.”
Though I think the badlands are beautiful, I have to admit that my favorite geographical feature is the sizable reservoir in the middle of the ranch, according to Fraley.
“You have nearly 200 surface acres in your own private reservoir.
That’s spacious enough for boating, jet skiing, and obviously excellent fishing.

The owner’s house, which is a log structure with five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a bunk room, an attached garage, and a separate six-car garage, is the focal point of the ranch.
According to Fraley, it’s “simple, but impressive” and “perfect for a large family retreat.”
According to the listing, there are three properties on the land: the main house and two that are positioned at either end of the ranch as employee compounds.

Given its size, it should come as no surprise that the ranch is home to a wide range of wildlife, including turkey, waterfowl, deer, and antelope.
In addition, it currently has 1,800 bison and all the amenities required to maintain the animals.
An ideal buyer would be one who wanted to keep the large herd on the ranch, “either by purchasing the animals or working out an arrangement with the [owner] of the bison,” according to Fraley, even though the purchase price does not include the herd.
Mansion Global was unable to find out who owned the ranch or when it was last sold.
Fraley would not comment on who they were.
