About this property

Pulling onto Meadowlark Drive, the world feels different. The sun hits the Ponderosas just right, painting the hillside in shifting golds and greens. You understand instantly why this spot feels so good. There’s a quiet here, a gentle hum of the wind through the pines that settles something deep inside. From your driveway, the horizon stretches out, a constant reminder of the sprawling beauty of the Black Hills all around you. It's a view that changes with every season, never once growing old.

Inside, the home embraces you with a sense of grounded comfort. Four bedrooms and two full baths easily accommodate everyone. Sunlight spills across the natural laminate floors in the main living space, leading your eye to the warmth of the wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen, with its deep-toned cabinetry and practical layout, provides a great space for gathering. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private sanctuary, while the lower level, with its walk-out access, adds another dimension to the living space.

Imagine your Tuesday morning: coffee steaming on the back deck, the only sounds the rustle of leaves and the distant call of a canyon wren. Later, a ten-minute drive puts you at the trailhead for Victoria Lake, where the singletrack beckons for a quiet run or a vigorous climb. Evenings bring the soft glow of the city lights across the valley, a subtle counterpoint to the wildness surrounding you. This is the Black Hills, lived right.

Living here

Living here puts you close to daily necessities. You're a short drive from schools and the stores along Haines Avenue. The large lot gives you room to spread out, and the playground is a short walk away. With a four-car garage and RV parking, there’s space for vehicles and projects. Enjoy the practical side of Rapid City living.

The area

Step outside and the first thing you notice is how the air feels different here, a crispness even on warmer days, carrying a faint scent of pine from the nearby hills. Late afternoon light spills across the land, painting long shadows that stretch and dance with the breeze, making the contours of the landscape pop. You might catch the distant call of a hawk circling overhead, or the rustle of leaves as a deer makes its way through the undergrowth, a reminder that you're truly living among nature. This isn't a place that shouts for attention; it simply exists, inviting you to slow down and breathe it all in.

Living here means experiencing a town that truly embraces its surroundings. Rapid City offers a balance of opportunities and wide-open spaces. Major employers like Monument Health and Ellsworth Air Force Base provide a solid foundation. When you’re not working, the outdoor options are endless, whether you're hiking the trails at Hanson-Larsen Memorial Park, spending a day boating on Pactola Lake, or exploring the dramatic landscapes of Badlands National Park. The cultural scene thrives with places like the Journey Museum & Learning Center and events like Summer Nights downtown. Each season brings its own flavor, from summer festivals to the quiet beauty of fall foliage and winter skiing. It's a community with a strong, family-friendly feel, where the pace is a bit slower, but there's always something to do.

For daily needs, you're not far from anything. When hunger strikes, you have options like Wings and Rings, a solid choice just 2.2 miles away for a casual bite, or Ruby Tuesday at 4.9 miles. For groceries or other shopping, Mandalay Plaza is a convenient option at 5 miles. For healthcare needs, Shrine Hospital is 3.1 miles away, and you have highly-rated choices like Rapid City Service Unit and Rapid City Medical Center LLP, both around 4.6 to 4.8 miles from your doorstep. If you're looking for open space, Bear Country USA and Canyon Lake Park are both popular spots around 2.8 to 3.4 miles, offering great opportunities to get outside.
