Pheasant Hunting Lodge/Ranch For Sale

I am writing to let all of you know of an exciting opportunity, for you, in central South Dakota.  I have listed a trophy pheasant hunting lodge, "Gann Valley Ranch" located just north of Kimball, SD. 

Features include aproximatly1683 acres of the best pheasant hunting in South Dakota.  There are 1200 acres currently in crop production with the balance in trees, rolling hills, native prairie, stock dams, wetlands and food plots.  The 3500 sq/ft lodge/house has been recently renovated and will sleep up to twenty people.  There is a 60' x 40' metal building, 15 dog kennels with outdoor runs and indoor houses, and an indoor game processing center.  All of the farm and guiding equipment (suburbans, pickups, tractors, etc...) will go with the property. 

One other aspect I would like you to be aware of, is the current owner does have an existing caretaker that would be interested in staying on for general maintenance plus hunting and guiding.  As well as approximately 2000 acres of adjacent land leases in the surrounding area for extra hunting ground.

This is an excellent investment opportunity, which you cannot afford not to own, when you think of all the extra business you would create treating your clients to an unforgettable hunt; as well as providing an exceptional place for your corporate retreats, or winding down with friends.  I thought you, or perhaps someone you know would benefit from ownership of a fantastic lodge such as Gann Valley Ranch at a great value compared to similar properties in the state.  Please contact me with any additional questions.
