    "Bear Valley springs is the coolest place to reside, ever. People are terrific, wildlife run free and are respected, the mountain views leave me speechless, prices for Realestate are reasonable, Tehachapi is handy and provides access to extras, although with the amenities in BVS (other than to go to work) one never has to leave for recreation or necessities. We have the Country Market, Saloon, Country club dining, and Mulligan Room!"

    "Being so close to nature. Elk, deer, quail, bobcat, coyote, and fox regularly travel thru my land, all while th majestic hawk circles overhead. Four true seasons, mild in the valley, but heavy at the ridge, you can experience nature at any level you choose. "
