LOCATION: The Morrison Ranch is located approximately 14 miles east of Piedmont, SD along Elk Creek Rd. The property may also be found 8 miles north of I90, at exit 61 and 2 miles east, a short 10 miles from Rapid City, SD. The town of Piedmont is a small, quiet community situated at the foot of the Black Hills. Rich in history, Piedmont was the destination of hundreds of travelers headed west in the late 1800s toward the mineral laden mines and lumber mills of the Black Hills. Many of whom might have traversed the Elk Creek Valley and camped on or near what has since become the Morrison Ranch.
Rapid City, to the south of the ranch, is the second largest city in South Dakota offering all the conveniences and amenities of a larger city but with the ease and familiarity of a more rural setting. Today Rapid City serves as a regional airport hub as well as a medical, shopping, entertainment, banking and commerce, educational, industrial, tourism and military center.
ACCESS: The ranch is accessed via the Elk Creek Rd., a well maintained County road, which borders the property. There is a short stretch of private road crossing the corner of the neighboring property, for which a perpetual easement has been granted.
OPERATION: The Morrisons currently operate the ranch harvesting and selling the hay, mostly in the field, to local horse owners. The grazing is leased out on a month-to-month basis. The property would lend itself well to a number of uses from a Ranch HQ with a complete set of improvements and feed base, to a retirement property with plenty of space and scenery. The property consists of 220 acres, (all deeded) of which approximately 95 are currently in hay production. Much of the remaining acreage is tillable but is currently in grass production. The soils are mostly (87%) comprised of Class III Savo and Lohmiller silty clay loam with productivity indexes of 73 to 85. The ranch provides exceptional productivity and at the same time offers panoramic views of the Black Hills National Forrest just minutes to the west.
IMPROVEMENTS: The Morrison Ranch is well improved with two modern homes, a shop, two barns, loafing shed and corrals with concrete feed bunks.
The homes consist of the original ranch, three bedroom one and one-half bath, impeccably maintained, home which is 2,208 sq ft in size with an attached garage. The main home has had a number of upgrades, from the new energy efficient windows and new floor coverings to the maintenance free steel siding.
The second home was constructed in 2002 as a manufactured home and is a 2,128 sq ft four bedroom two bath ranch style that has had excellent care with insulated siding and high efficiency windows.
The two barns are 32 x 80 open span with water and electricity. The loafing shed is a well-built well maintained 30 x 108 structure situated on the north side of the corrals which are fenced into three pens with 80 ft of concrete bunk space. The fences on the ranch are in good repair and divide the ranch into three main pastures offering the opportunity for pasture rotation.
