Nestled in the pines with an amazing view to the south with nary a single man made structure or light in your untrammeled field of vision, you'll feel as though the world belongs to you and yours. Interaction will be variable as I travel a fair amount. Our beautiful home is located just 4 miles south of historic Deadwood in the quiet and less touristy northern Black Hills. It is situated on 4 wooded acres with a stunning view as can be seen in the pictures. From the deck on a clear day you can see the highest peak in the Hills (Black Elk Peak) 30+ miles distant. Though close to town it feels very isolated with nary a single man-made light visible to the front. Chickadees, Nut Hatches, Woodpeckers, Squirrels and Chipmunks are constant visitors and most days deer and turkey will stop by to visit. If you’re looking for a quiet place to unwind and enjoy nature it’s the perfect place for you. The comfortably furnished and nicely detailed space includes 2 wood burning stoves/fireplaces, hardwood/ slate floors and lots and lots of windows which can make you feel as though you're in a tree house. The home also features a mix of eclectic artwork and décor from time spent living and working overseas. Sliding doors off the great room and french doors off the master bedroom offer easy access to the extra-large multi-level outdoor deck with hot tub. Relaxing in the hot tub under the impressive night skies is an unforgettable way to unwind after a great day hiking in the Hills, visiting Mount Rushmore or the world-famous Sturgis Motorcycle Rally or testing your luck in the Deadwood casinos. The house has two independent levels. The upper level is the principal residence with a great room, a very spacious master bedroom, a mini-loft with a sleeping area and a full kitchen and laundry. The lower level originally was a garage and was redone into a very nice open living space with a king bed, 2 barnwood futons, a full bath and a microwave and fridge. To preserve the tranquility of the setting and the neighborhood, the home will only be rented to folks interested in a low-key quiet getaway. Additionally, I’m required by the covenants of my HOA to only rent to groups of 1 or more persons related to the other by blood, marriage, legal adoption or otherwise long-term committed relationship. So, given that restriction and as this is our home, we need to know a bit about who will be staying and for what purpose. Please provide these details in any request to rent. Thanks for considering our home for your visit.
