Historic Eva Ranch

Farm Description

This 117 acres comprises the headquarters to the historic ranch and is now aptly named after the very early brand " E V A" used by the early cattle rancher that settled in this region of the Black Hills of WY. Rarely does one come across such a pristine setting as this choice offering boasts. Located near the confluence of Bear Run Canyon and the southern end of Beaver Creek Canyon, Stockade Beaver Creek can be found meandering alongside the home and old corrals after flowing for some length along the northern boundary of the ranch. The setting is right out of the Old West and still features remnants of an old log storage building that serviced the Cheyenne to Deadwood Stagecoach Line. Behind the home/lodge can be found a breathtaking large hay meadow that features lush alfalfa and tame grasses and is bordered along the north side of the same by a very picturesque rock cliff that is further adorned by native BH pine trees as well as cedar trees and other hardwoods. Additionally, there is an additional high-mountain meadow featuring all of the same attributes given to the meadow below. An 80 acre BLM lease permit further adjoins this high meadow on the east side, and this permit then joins USFS lands and the WY-SD border. This fantastic setting with it's abundant water and feed is obviously terrific habitat for elk, as well as trophy mule and white-tailed deer, and turkey as well. The home on the property is actually an approx. 3,961 sq ft log lodge that sits off the main Beaver Creek Road on the west edge of the large hay meadow and has historically been operated as a bed and breakfast with the owners having many repeat guests that simply enjoy all of the pleasures this area of the Black Hills has to offer. Features to the home include, a large "great room" with fireplace, eat-in breakfast bar, large country kitchen, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, an owner's private suite, multi-level decks, and more. A 24x32 metal shop building with concrete floor, elec. and overhead door is nearby as are several other outbuildings and an historic wood barn. This choice offering is one we believe you will surely want to visit anytime of the year; make plans to inspect!
