General
Description
The O Bar O Ranch lies in the northern end of
Sulphur Springs Valley and at the foot of Graham Mountain. The area
is rich in history with prehistoric Indian ruins, old homesteads and
stage stops. There was an old cavalry fort adjacent to the ranch and
Billy the Kid killed his first man in nearby Bonita. This is one of
the most historic areas in Arizona.
The ranch has a very productive history as a livestock operation.
It also has a tremendous amount of recreational opportunities. The
area offers hunting, hiking, horseback riding and wildlife viewing.
The elevation and climate combine to make this an ideal place to live.
