Batavia blends quiet country living with quick access to some of Wisconsin’s best outdoor playgrounds. Set in Sheboygan County, it sits minutes from the glacial hills and hardwood forests of the Kettle Moraine State Forest – Northern Unit, a haven for hiking, paddling, skiing, and birding maintained by the Wisconsin DNR. Spend a summer afternoon swimming or boating at the Long Lake Recreation Area, or opt for the sandy beach and easy loop trails around Mauthe Lake. The storied Ice Age National Scenic Trail threads nearby, offering year-round mileage for walkers and trail runners. Closer to home, the Onion River trout stream winds through the countryside, prized for restored habitat and cool, clear water.
Families appreciate strong local education options. Students are primarily served by the Random Lake School District, with open-enrollment possibilities in the Plymouth Joint School District and the Campbellsport School District. Daily essentials are close at hand, while larger shopping, dining, and healthcare hubs in Plymouth, West Bend, and Sheboygan are an easy drive. Proximity to Fond du Lac County broadens recreation and employment options.
Housing ranges from classic farmhouses and hobby-farm acreage to wooded retreats and lakes-area cabins, offering room to breathe and space to grow. Whether you’re seeking a weekend base for Kettle Moraine adventures or a year-round homestead under starry skies, Batavia rewards with a down-to-earth pace and extraordinary access to nature. When you’re ready to move, Agent Pronto can connect buyers and sellers with top local real estate agents who know Batavia inside and out.
