About Spring Valley Ranches
LOCATION AND HISTORY

Valley Ranches is located in one of Arizona’s most scenic areas, just
off old Historic Route 66, near the town of Hackberry. Hackberry, in its
hey-day, was a bustling cattle and gold mining town. Today, it is a
tourist destination for those interested in revisiting and reminiscing
about cross-country travel along old Route 66.
Spring
Valley Ranches is nestled in the foothills of the pinyon pine-scented
Peacock Mountains only 25 miles northeast of Kingman, Arizona. This
scenic ranch was once a working cattle ranch that has been named after
the abundant natural springs that are found on the ranch. Rich in
history, Spring Valley Ranches’ natural springs provided precious water
for native Americans, pioneers, and U.S. Calvary.
Spring Valley Ranches comprises about 7,130 acres of private land. Parcels range in size from 5 to 97 acres.

bobcats, skunks, raccoons, and an occasional mountain lion can be seen
in this pristine area.
