Deepwell Ranch is a guard-gated Planned Unit Development (PUD) in South Palm Springs, designed by renowned architect Barry Berkus and built between 1970 and 1972. The community consists of 111 homes situated on approximately 24 acres. Its history dates to 1926, when scientist Henry Pearson purchased the property and drilled a well approximately 630 feet deep—then believed to be the deepest in the Coachella Valley—inspiring the name Deep Well Ranch.
The community includes 31 detached homes with yards and some with private pools, along the outer perimeter of Primavera Drive and 80 attached residences, including eight two-story townhomes. The homeowners association maintains the landscaped grounds (excluding the enclosed yards of the single family homes), three pools, three spas, the tennis court and exterior paint, and also provides earthquake insurance. Deepwell Ranch is managed by The Management Trust at 760-776-5100.
Deepwell Ranch is located on fee-simple land and currently has a 30-day minimum rental requirement.
