Custom Black Hills Log Home w/views, Secluded, Only 12 miles to Mt Rushmore!

Beauty and adventure inside and out! This completely custom stunning log home was built with relaxation in mind. The executive home is large and very open, perfect for large familys or multiple family's. When here, you will find yourself at one with the beautiful Black Hills. Views for miles, thousands of ponderosa pines, along with frequent visits from wild turkey and deer make this property a nature lovers paradise! This 3 bedroom, 2 bath log home has 2 king beds and relaxation areas on each level (4 total king sized beds!), 22 ft high soaring vaulted ceilings, free wireless internet, 2 smart TV's, exercise equipment, ping pong table, fully equipped kitchen, Laundry, gas grill, plenty of parking (including space for trailers), Zero entry on the main level, Geothermal efficiency, temperature-controlled floors, 2 viewing decks and over 8 private acres to roam and take in all the wildlife!

This property is on approximately 4 miles of gravel roads. The roads are very well maintained by the county and there are no steep or difficult hills or valleys to navigate, but it is gravel and in winter months a 4wd vehicle or decent snow tires are recommended.

Upon arrival you will instantly fall in love with your surroundings, which include: Beautiful natural landscaping, views, and thousands of ponderosa pines!

Once inside you'll love the openness of the soaring vaulted ceilings, attention to detail, rustic log interior, and oversized windows that allow tons of natural light to pour in. Hang out in the main floor family room where the amazing spacious structure of the home itself will amaze you. The home has heated and cooled concrete floors, concrete/epoxy countertops, custom built cabinets, and some of the finest craftmanship you'll find in a log home!

Rushmore! Also less than 20 minutes from Rush Mountain Adventure park! In thirty minutes or less you could be driving through the Badland Lands National Park or it’s out skirting National Grass Lands, walking through Rushmore Cave, sitting in the healing waters of the hot springs, gazing at the abundant wildlife in the Black Hills, hunting for fossils or Fairburn agates, indulging yourself in the rich history of the Native American Sioux Tribe, or enjoying a day of shopping in Keystone, Hill City, or Rapid City.

Additionally the property sits close to other major area attractions: less than 30 minutes to the following: Bear Country, Old McDonald's farm, Putt Putt golf, Reptile Gardens, Black Elk peak, Crazy Horse monument, and Lake Sylvan! less than 1 hour to Sturgis, Deadwood, Spearfish, and Lead! Easy access no matter where you want to go, scenic drives included.

In addition to being a central location, Hermosa also offers locally owned dining options; whether it’s one of many delicious specialty pizzas from the famous Lintz Brothers Pizza, burgers or chicken from Lazy R Bar & Grill, the daily lunch special at the Community Senior Center, or just a quick bite from the Flying J Truck Stop Deli.

Peaceful with a nice easy drive
The property kept 6 of us very happy! It was easy to navigate to all of the sights and yet gave us a peaceful location to make dinner and rest for the next days’ activities. Our kids were very entertained and the grandparents were at ease. Beautiful, clean cabin. Lots of wildlife in this area!

Memorial Day weekend 2024
We had a wonderful stay at the cabin/lodge! The location was perfect for quick trips to site see. We did Rushmore, crazy horse, devils tower, badlands, Custer, wind cave. At the home we saw so many turkeys and deer. The grocery store in hermosa was perfect to get all of your needs and was super close. We played with the games the host provided and built puzzles. It was a wonderful vacation and home. Thank you for allowing us to stay here!

While remote (as was explained in the description), the property was centrally located if you are visiting the Badlands, Mount Rushmore, or Custer Park. The pantry was partially stocked with non-perishables. The property was comfortable and, in addition to TV, provided corn hole, ping pong, beautiful sunrises and a morning/evening feeding frenzy for the turkeys and deer. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone.
