Although 80 percent of land in South Dakota is privately owned, there's still room for over five million acres of state-managed land. The state boasts some of the nation's best pheasant hunting, with annual pheasant harvests regularly topping one million birds each year. Lands of America has almost 300,000 acres of South Dakota ranches, farms, hunting land and other rural land and acreage for sale, totaling almost $916 million in overall value. Of the 66 counties in South Dakota, Lawrence County has the most farms, ranches and rural real estate for sale. Looking at data recently recorded through the Lands of America Comparable Sales program, the most land and rural property sales were recorded in Gregory County. Outdoors enthusiasts can hunt for wildlife including whitetail deer, turkey, mule deer, and pheasant on land for sale here, while fishing enthusiasts can cast for trout, walleye, and pike. Like Wyoming, South Dakota ranks highly as a retirement destination for its low tax rates (there is no state income tax) and high quality of living. The state is mostly rural, although towns like Rapid City, Vermillion and Spearfish pack their share of cultural, arts and outdoor action (Spearfish made Outside magazine's 2015 list of best outdoor towns for its mix of fishing, bike trails and brews). The long winters in South Dakota may give some retirees pause, but the state can boast four-season allure for those interested in year-round adventure and atmosphere.
