First time ever offered for sale, this handcrafted mountain estate is a rare opportunity to own a true Black Hills legacy property. Construction began in 1984 & has been thoughtfully handcrafted, refined, and updated over four decades, with many improvements completed within the last five years. Every detail was meticulously designed with quality, efficiency, & timeless charm in mind. Nestled on over 5+ private acres in South Canyon Estates, this custom estate offers nearly 4,000 square feet, 4 bdrm 3½ baths, an attached two-stall garage, & an extraordinary two-story shop built into the hillside w/ drive-in access on both levels. The lower level features a tandem four-car mechanic's garage complete w/ an oil service pit, commercial air compressor, & whole-property generator, while the upper level was designed as a drive-in woodworking shop ready for the next craftsman. Inside you'll find locally milled D-log construction w/ double tongue-&-groove logs, 6-inch sealed log walls wrapped & then protected by steel siding, Missouri Ozarks red oak flooring throughout, staircases countertops, maple cabinetry, restored clawfoot tubs, Marble worx showers, & an authentic hand-carved fireplace mantel salvaged from an 1800s Deadwood home. Every upstairs bedroom opens to its own redwood deck, while the primary suite enjoys two private deck entrances. An indoor dry/sauna, whole-house fan, efficient natural gas hydronic hot water heat, handcrafted steel railings, & countless custom details complete the home. The surrounding landscape is equally remarkable, w/ mature cottonwoods, chokecherry trees, edible crabapple trees, tiered landscaping, wildlife, & peaceful views. The owners originally fell in love with this property because a sunlit meadow hidden within the trees reminded the couple of the unforgettable forest scene from Bambi—a feeling of peace that still exists today. This is more than a home. It is a handcrafted mountain estate built to be enjoyed for generations.
