Located in eastern South Dakota, this 16.24 acre property on Kings Lake in Codington County offers a mix of land and lake surface that may appeal to buyers seeking recreational access, habitat value, or lake frontage ownership without the need for structural development. Of the total acreage, approximately 2.5 acres consist of land, while the remaining acres are classified as lake surface. The parcel is not buildable under current regulations, making it suitable for uses that do not require permanent structures but still allow enjoyment of the lake and surrounding landscape. Kings Lake is one of the smaller natural lakes in the region and is surrounded by a combination of agricultural land, pasture, wetlands, and small clusters of rural residences. Because the parcel includes a significant portion of lake surface, ownership provides a unique relationship to the waterbody itself. Buyers may consider the property for recreation, water access, shoreline ownership, or as an addition to an existing nearby parcel. Wildlife commonly associated with the area includes waterfowl, wading birds, upland birds and small game species. The lake also attracts seasonal migrations, making the surrounding environment a changing and active landscape. The approximately 2.5 acres of upland space provide an accessible foothold for staging, parking, or accessing the lake depending on conditions and regulations. The land portion includes grassland and low growing vegetation typical of lake edges in rural Codington County. Terrain varies gently from higher ground near the road to lower areas toward the lake margin. While the property is not suitable for building, it can be used for non structural recreation and as a location for water access activities that comply with county and state requirements. This property is located within reasonable driving distance of several communities that provide supplies, fuel and services. Florence is approximately 8 miles to the west, depending on route. Henry is about 15 miles to the south. Watertown, the regional hub, is roughly 25 miles to the southeast and provides a wide range of amenities including grocery stores, hardware stores, outdoor supply vendors, dining options and medical services. These nearby towns offer convenience for regular trips to the property while still allowing the parcel to remain in a quiet rural setting near Kings Lake. Because the property is not buildable, future owners should evaluate recreational activities that align with local regulations. Possible uses may include shoreline enjoyment, bird watching, small craft access, hunting activities where allowed, or integrating the acreage with other owned land in the area. The combination of land and lake acres may provide habitat value and seasonal changes useful for wildlife observation. Some owners in similar circumstances use lake surface ownership to maintain access, enhance privacy and manage recreational use on adjoining properties. All uses are subject to county zoning, state water regulations and other applicable requirements, so buyers should verify all intended plans with the proper authorities. The setting around Kings Lake is generally quiet and is influenced by agricultural operations and natural habitat. The lake itself changes throughout the year with water level fluctuations, freeze up periods, and spring thaws. Such seasonal variation is characteristic of prairie lakes in northeastern South Dakota. While the property is not intended for structural development, it can serve as a unique holding for those who value the natural qualities of the lake and the opportunity to own both upland and surface acreage. The layout and characteristics of the property allow for manageable care and a low maintenance footprint. Given its size, lake frontage, and location in Codington County, this property may appeal to buyers who want a modest amount of land associated with a lake environment without the obligations of building or maintaining structures. It may also attract those who want to secure shoreline control, participate in recreational activities, or hold the acreage as part of a broader landownership strategy in the area. This 16.24 acre offering represents a combination of land and water acreage that is uncommon among typical rural parcels. With approximately 2.5 acres of upland and the remaining acres comprising lake surface, the property provides an opportunity to secure a stake in Kings Lake and enjoy the surrounding outdoor landscape in a non residential capacity. Its proximity to Florence, Henry, and Watertown adds convenience while maintaining a quiet, natural setting.
