About This Home

Discover The HIVE - a rare, one-of-a-kind historic property in Bruce, South Dakota that delivers the craftsmanship, character, and versatility of a high-end Rocky Mountain lodge or Jackson Hole retreat at a fraction of the price. Built in 1883 and masterfully customized as the fourth original Goodfellow-designed property, this signature property offers approximately 5,525 square feet of furnished living space. Thoughtfully designed for multiple lifestyles, it serves equally well as a primary residence, turnkey hunting camp headquarters, multigenerational retreat, distinctive business office, or investment property. From the moment you arrive at The HIVE, custom details captivate. Enter the original front building and experience soaring exposed wood beams and a dramatic open floor plan. The spacious main-level living and gathering area forms the welcoming heart of the home, ideal for entertaining hunting partners, hosting family and friends, or relaxing in comfort. The main level also features two full bathrooms for convenience. The custom kitchen features one-of-a-kind concrete countertops with an embossed vintage 1883 map of South Dakota and iconic Bruce landmarks, a stunning focal point. Upstairs, the impressive 800 square foot luxury loft suite provides exceptional privacy and flexibility. It includes an open floor bedroom concept with (4) separate beds, one full bathroom with a shower and a jacuzzi tub, a dedicated laundry area, an additional kitchenette, and a living space with a WiFi-connected TV. The finished basement is an entertainer's paradise, anchored by a state-of-the-art wood-burning stove. Multiple lounge zones, a wine cellar, and space for games make it perfect for larger groups. Recent 2026 updates (luxury vinyl flooring in kitchen, new carpet in main bedrooms, polyurethane flooring in basement/shop/baths, new gutters) ensure move-in readiness. Additional highlights include in-floor heat in the new back addition, 220-volt service, hot/cold water bibs, fiber optic connectivity, dual HVAC, programmable thermostats, and a durable black steel exterior wrap. Bruce offers small-town charm with big access: 15 minutes northwest of Brookings (SDSU) and approximately 60 minutes to Sioux Falls and its regional airport. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy proximity to Oakwood Lakes State Park. Hunters benefit from being within 30 minutes of over 30,000 acres of public walking lands, prime for South Dakota's world-class pheasant, deer, and waterfowl hunting. The HIVE features three bedroom areas with six total beds, but easily accommodates up to 20 people thanks to the expansive luxury loft, open main building construction, and utility spaces. Whether hosting hunting groups, creating a unique family home, establishing a business headquarters, or investing in tax-friendly South Dakota (no state income tax), this property adapts perfectly. Comparable custom historic properties in Colorado and Wyoming often command significantly higher prices. Rarely does a property of this history, customization, scale, and potential become available at such an accessible price. The HIVE is ready for its next chapter.
