Custom ranch home in gated community blends craftsmanship with exceptional setting

May 1, 2025

This paid Executive Home is sponsored by The Tony Ratchford Group.

The serenity of country life meets the convenience of city living in this exquisite custom-built ranch home nestled in one of Sioux Falls’ most prestigious neighborhoods.

Located at 5205 S. Sweetwater Place in a gated community, this four-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers 5,700 square feet nestled on a beautifully landscaped 1-acre lot.

“This home will captivate you from the moment you arrive,” listing agent Tony Ratchford said. “It’s a rare offering in an incredibly desirable location.”

Step into the soaring foyer and 18-foot ceilings will draw your eye to rich architectural details as you’re surrounded by elegant millwork, beamed ceilings, marble accents and a wood floor.

“The attention to detail is striking throughout the home, including in its designer lighting and sun-filled rooms,” Ratchford said. “This home exudes warmth, sophistication, meticulous craftsmanship and elevated design.”

A richly finished gourmet kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring custom cabinetry, a center island and granite countertops.

“The layout accommodates both casual dining and formal dining,” Ratchford said. “There’s a seamless flow for daily living or entertaining.”

The owner’s suite is a private retreat with an expansive bedroom, custom walk-in closet and large bath with dual vanities, a spa-inspired shower and private water closet.

“There’s very easy, one-level living in this home,” Ratchford said. “A laundry serves the home from the main floor, and you’ll also find a second bedroom with plenty of privacy for guests or family, as well as a den with a fireplace that doubles as a refined home office.”

The lower level is ideal for relaxation and recreation, with a spacious family room, game and exercise areas.

“There’s also an additional bedroom suite and a nonlegal bedroom that can serve as a guest room, plus two bathrooms,” Ratchford said.

Storage abounds with 300 square feet of bonus space as well as an oversized, heated three-stall garage with a full-width floor drain and abundant storage.

“The outdoor living here is a private sanctuary,” Ratchford added, noting that the covered patio overlooks a professionally landscaped and fenced backyard.

“This home truly meets every need, from an exceptional neighborhood to the privacy and security that comes from a gated setting,” Ratchford said. “Homes in this area seldom become available, and homes of this caliber are even more rare.”

This home is listed for $1,699,000. For information, contact The Ratchford Group at 605-359-4100 or info@tonyratchford.com.
