About 5750 Messenger Hwy

Experience the unmatched beauty and exceptional hunting opportunities at South Walton Farms, a premier hunting retreat that offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. Located at the end of a private road, this hidden gem provides the ideal escape while still being close to local amenities and major cities. South Walton Farms is a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts, featuring abundant populations of whitetails, turkeys, waterfowl, and upland game. For over 40 years, the property has been carefully managed with Quality Deer Management (QDM) and conservation practices, resulting in an impressive whitetail age structure and an optimal habitat that supports diverse wildlife. This expansive property includes a professionally established shooting preserve, offering “put and take” opportunities for nine months of the year, as well as a custom-designed Laporte 8-station clay target course—making it a prime destination for shooting sports enthusiasts. The agricultural classification of the land also provides the advantage of manageable taxes. The diverse terrain of South Walton Farms features everything an avid hunter could desire: thick security cover, native grasses, forbs, mixed timber (including oak, pine, maple, and walnut), scenic Battle Creek River frontage, and wetlands with water control systems to attract ducks and geese. The property is equipped with strategically placed hunting blinds and miles of well-maintained roads, providing excellent access throughout. The gated entrance leads to a circle drive that welcomes you to the recently renovated main lodge, guest quarters (known as "The Bear Den"), additional outbuildings, and a sporting clay range. Contiguous tracts of this size and quality are increasingly rare, and South Walton Farms stands out as one of southern Michigan’s premier destinations for world-class deer, turkey, and waterfowl hunting. If you're looking for a truly one-of-a-kind property to call your own, contact us today to schedule a private tour and experience the ultimate huntin
