Description
PRICE REDUCED! We are excited to bring to market South Walton Farms, an exceptional turn-key hunting property in quality and magnitude, providing unmatched hunting opportunities that cannot be found anywhere else in southern Michigan! This end-of-the-road property is extremely secluded yet still close to local amenities and within driving distance of major cities. Brimming with wildlife, including whitetails, turkeys, waterfowl, and upland game, this diverse tract is a hunter and conservationist’s paradise!
QDM and conservation practices have been in place for over 40 years, allowing you to step into a superior whitetail age structure and habitat that has been designed to increase the carrying capacity of all wildlife in a uniquely natural setting. An established shooting preserve is in place, allowing for “put and take” shooting 9 months out of the year. This is coupled with a custom Laporte 8-station clay target trap course to make this a next-level shooting sports getaway. It also classifies the property as agricultural, which helps keep the taxes manageable.
Full of heavy security cover, native grasses, forbs, mixed timber (including oak, pine, maple, and walnut), Battle Creek River frontage, wetland with water control structures for ducks and geese, strategically placed hunting blinds, and miles of manicured road system create an incredible tract! This property has gated access with a circle drive at the renovated main lodge, guest quarters, also known as the Bear Den, outbuildings, and a sporting clay range. Contiguous tracts of this size are rare, and they have some of the best habitat and land features for growing and hunting some world-class deer in southern Michigan. If you are looking for a one-of-a-kind property for deer, turkeys, and waterfowl, let us know. We would love to spend a day showing you around South Walton Farms!!
