Pheasant Lake Preserve

Pheasant Lake Preserve is a 160-acre recreational property in Beadle County, South Dakota, located northwest of Huron. Set along a quiet, dead-end gravel road, this private South Dakota hunting property centers on a 5.5-acre groundwater-fed lake that reaches approximately 11 feet deep. A cleared building pad on the south shore provides an appealing site for a cabin, home, or hunting lodge overlooking the water.

The property offers exceptional habitat for pheasant, deer, and occasional waterfowl. Multiple CRP contracts cover more than 80 acres, layering in the nesting grasses, warm season cover, and forb plantings providing the perfect environment for a thriving pheasant population on the property. Three mature tree strips, planted in 1978 and 1982, provide thick shelter and travel corridors, while 5 to7 acres of strategically planted grain sorghum food plots hold pheasants and deer on the property. The lake rounds out the habitat, drawing Canada, snow, and blue geese, along with mallards, pintails, wigeon, gadwalls, teal, wood ducks, redheads, and canvasbacks.

Approximately 30 acres of alfalfa and ongoing CRP payments generate income that more than covers property taxes and operating expenses, providing additional income to the owner. Electricity is already available at the property, and a rural water main is reportedly located within about a half mile. The lake also presents opportunities for fish stocking, a dock, and small-watercraft recreation. Seller financing may be available to qualified buyers.

Located approximately five miles north and 4.5 miles west of Huron Regional Airport, The Blue Isle combines seclusion, productive land, buildable waterfront, and proven hunting habitat in one well-positioned South Dakota recreational property.
