There are ranches--and then there are places whose land, history, and setting place them in a category entirely their own. Located minutes from Medora, Davis Creek Ranch represents a remarkably rare opportunity to acquire a large, working cattle, equestrian, and recreational ranch in the heart of North Dakota's legendary Badlands. The ranch combines 1,100± deeded acres, productive ranching capabilities, valuable seasonal grazing resources, beautiful residences, exceptional wildlife, dramatic Western scenery, and immediate proximity to one of the most recognized and culturally significant destinations in the American West. The ranch lies amid the rugged buttes, sweeping grasslands, deep draws, and expansive skies that have made the North Dakota Badlands famous throughout the world.
