This property is located in the highest point in Charles Mix County, South Dakota (1,657 feet), commonly known as Took Tay Hill in Signal Township, or Travis Hill. Although this piece of land was not homesteaded, it has been in the Travis family since 1905. During the day, one can see the counties of Charles Mix, Brule, Aurora and Douglas with grand views of the Bijou Hills to the northwest, Missouri river bluffs to the west and Monument Hill to the southeast. The evening sky offers spectacular night views of the prairie skies and surrounding towns. The location of this property is just a mere 7 miles (6 miles of which are asphalt) to the boat ramps at the Platte Creek Recreation area on Lake Francis Case.
Although the original old farmhouse and barn are no longer on site, Parcel #3 is an ideal site for buildings (new construction or move in) and/or camper sites. There is rural water service available and power within 1/2 mile. High speed internet service and Wi-Fi is easily available at buyer’s expense.
This acreage has seen a variety of wildlife, including whitetail and mule deer, pheasants, grouse, prairie chickens, waterfowl, coyotes, fox squirrels and rabbits due to the draws on the grassland, water sources, cropland, and shelterbelts, as well as the proximity of the surrounding river hills of Cedar Creek located to the south. It is a wonderful area for hunting, fishing, hiking, riding horses, and enjoying seasonal activities such as winter sports, summer water sports and golfing nearby. Platte and the surrounding towns offer many amenities and community services, including a variety of churches, medical, hospital, dental services, nursing home and assisted living facilities, large and small animal veterinary services, auto and boat sales, storage units for boats, equipment and personal items, restaurants, groceries, hardware, building supplies, financial services, daycare, including excellent schools, a movie theatre, parks, swimming pool, and several overnight accommodations (rural and city.)

Water is currently provided by Randall Community Water District. There are two water meters that will require a disconnect by Travis Enterprises and transferred to the new owner. One meter on the east side of the pasture, Parcel #2, serves the two tanks in Section-15 and one in Section-10. There is a portion of this line that requires a blow out each fall due to the depth of the line. This service will be done by Travis Enterprises in 2024. The other meter is on the Parcel #3 acreage. That meter will need to be disconnected and transferred. There is also a water line presently on cropland Parcel #1 from a Travis Enterprises meter in Section 16-98-68 that will be disconnected at the expense of Travis Enterprises.
