Listing remarks

This 39.82‑acre tract sits along the Little White River in Mellette County, South Dakota, offering a combination of river bottom habitat, grassland, and upland terrain. Located approximately 2 miles north of White River, the property is easily accessed directly from US Highway 83, providing reliable year‑round entry and visibility along one of central South Dakota's primary north-south travel routes. The Little White River forms the eastern boundary of the tract, creating a diverse riparian corridor that supports wildlife movement, seasonal water flow, and a mix of vegetation types. The river bottom includes brushy cover, scattered trees, and low‑lying habitat that provides bedding, travel routes, and shelter for deer and other wildlife. The upland portions transition into open grassland and mixed habitat typical of the region, offering a blend of cover and forage that supports a variety of species. Wildlife use is a defining characteristic of the property. The combination of river bottom, grassland, and upland habitat supports deer, turkeys, and upland birds. The surrounding landscape includes agricultural fields, native grasslands, and additional riparian corridors, contributing to consistent wildlife activity throughout the year. The tract's location along the river enhances its value as part of a broader habitat system used by game species moving through the area. Topography varies from low river bottom to gently rolling uplands, creating multiple vantage points and natural travel corridors. The property's layout allows for practical access to different habitat zones, and the open areas provide flexibility for potential uses such as food plots, grazing, or other land management activities, subject to local regulations. No utilities are currently present on the tract, and any future development or improvements would require verification with local authorities. The region surrounding White River is known for its agricultural base, outdoor recreation, and steady local and seasonal traffic along US Highway 83. The property's proximity to town provides convenient access to services while maintaining a private setting along the river. The Little White River corridor is recognized for supporting wildlife, seasonal water flow, and habitat diversity, making this tract a functional option for recreational use, habitat management, or other land‑based activities. Overall, this 39.82‑acre property offers a practical combination of river frontage, habitat diversity, and highway access in a region known for wildlife and agricultural activity.
