I am using a "htaccess" file to limit certain IP from accessing my

This is working perfectly. Is there anyway I can have a custom message
displayed when a site listed in the above file is blocked?
First, what you have above allows HTTP methods other than the three you
list. If you want to block all access from the above IP addresses, you
should get rid of the Limit stanza and just put the Order, Allow, and
Deny directives directly in the .htaccess file.
The ErrorDocument directive will allow you to control what the server
returns to the client when access is denied:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#errordocument
You'll want to set up an ErrorDocument for the 403 status code. If you
include the ErrorDocument directive in your .htaccess file, it will only
apply to resources at and below that level.
