Somerset Ranch - The Iconic Suzanne Somers Estate

Where Hollywood history meets desert magic.

Welcome to Somerset Ranch, the legendary Palm Springs retreat once owned and cherished by television icon Suzanne Somers for over 40 years. Perched high in the hills and spread across 28 breathtaking acres, this extraordinary private compound captures the essence of luxury, wellness, and Old Hollywood glamour.

With panoramic desert vistas, unforgettable sunrises and sunsets, and a history steeped in celebrity, Somerset Ranch isn’t just a place to stay - it’s an experience. Perfect for wellness retreats, family gatherings, bachelorette weekends, or simply escaping reality, this one-of-a-kind estate promises serenity, privacy, and inspiration at every turn.

The Property

Terraced into the hillside, Somerset Ranch features six individual cottage suites and six distinct living and entertaining spaces, creating an intimate yet expansive environment for guests to explore. Designed for total privacy, each suite feels like its own desert hideaway - connected by meandering stone pathways, hidden patios, and panoramic terraces that invite you to slow down and savor the beauty of the desert.

With over 7,000 square feet of living space, this estate seamlessly blends rustic charm and sophisticated elegance. Designed in part by renowned architect Albert Frey, some of the historic structures date back more than a century, giving the property a timeless authenticity and architectural significance.

The estate’s private amphitheater has seen performances by Barry Manilow, Keely Smith, Susan Anton, Merv Griffin, and Jack Sheldon’s Big Band - creating an energy and history that still lingers in the air.

My extended family and I spent a weekend here in early October, and it was the best decision we could have made! The compound is not only as luxurious as advertised, but it literally transcends your soul into another place and time. Every inch of the grounds offer something unique and incredibly special, with history and charm in every house, on every level, in every way. From the views (both day and night), to the cook's kitchen right in the middle, to the endless entertainment nooks peppered throughout the property. And even though you feel secluded and a million miles from nowhere in the best possible way, the location is just minutes from the heart of downtown! Cannot recommend this home enough to anyone looking for luxury, privacy, as well as a compound fully equipped for a great time with friends or family.

Like having your own private boutique hotel in the heart of Palm Springs

Staying at this compound felt like stepping into our own personal boutique resort. Every detail—from the incredible amenities to the breathtaking mountain views—was thoughtfully designed for both comfort and luxury. The rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated, and feel more like private suites than typical accommodations. It’s perfectly located—just minutes away from Palm Springs’ best restaurants, shops, and attractions—yet still peaceful and private. Whether lounging by the pool, watching the sunset from the patio, or enjoying the stunning architecture, it’s an experience that feels both indulgent and restorative. We can’t wait to come back!
