There are pantries with pull-out drawers and a cozy breakfast nook with a built-in bulletin board and chalkboard for notes and honey-do lists .
You begin to see your family living here . Relaxing . Gathering . Making memories .
Upstairs there are two large bedrooms with a Jack and Jill bath , a huge master suite and a second living area and a loft space , which Ella says is her favorite place to hang out . During the Christmas season Ella and Bill had two trees , a revolving one in the upstairs loft and a taller rotating one in the main living space . Also revolving upstairs was a train , fun for the kids and adults to watch go by .
“ That was cool ; the grandkids loved it ,” Ella remembers . “ Holidays were warm . The stove was going . We ' d have the TV on and nice meals . My daughter-in-law sat in that corner over there and read stories to the little kids .” The vision of your family living here becomes even clearer . The full basement includes a family room , bedroom , bath , and a walkout to a covered patio . It also houses a mechanical room complete with a new water system .
The level property is ideal for dogs or horses . The quiet community is located four miles from Deerfield Lake and its access to water sports , fishing , snowmobile , ATV and hiking trails is perfect for the outdoor enthusiast . Access to the famed Mickelson trail is a mere five miles away , and the home is only 20 minutes from Hill City and less than an hour to Rapid City or Custer .
A vision of your family nesting or finding adventure begins to take shape in your mind .
A new outbuilding on the property includes two full-depth concrete bays beneath it , with one side offering 36 feet of depth for RVs boats , bikes or other toys . The other side boasts an insulated shop with a storage room .
There is room for your immediate and extended family . For all the kids ’ and adults ’ toys . The space really does have everything . And then you learn more about the nurturing neighborhood , where neighbors help one another and community takes center stage .
“ We have a potluck every 4th of July and a neighborhood parade . We ’ ve been known to have Christmas get-togethers and people pop in and visit ,” Ella says . She adds , “ everybody ’ s nice and if you need help you don ’ t have far to call . They are just there .” Ella ays of her neighbors , “ you can ’ t ask for better people .” She tells the story of her dog Mitzy . “ We used to have a German Shepherd and I would take her for a walk . Everybody just gets to know you . One day before she passed she was way down on the road and the neighbors called because they ’ d never seen her down there before . They notice and help you out ,” she says .
Despite being so close to great schools , restaurants and entertainment , nature is all around .
“ I had 17 deer out here one night ,” Ella recalls from one of the home ’ s balconies . “ I stood out here and they didn ’ t even know I was watching them .” And it ' s not just the deer , the rabbits , the elk or the turkeys . “ We ’ ve got a lot of bluebirds . You sit out front and it ’ s just beautiful ,” Ella says . This could be your next home . Beautiful views . Quiet . Lots of space for family , friends , toys and storage . Close to amenities . Mineral Lane really is a home that has it all .
