Iconic 28-Acre Private Retreat

  • Somerset Ranch – The Iconic Suzanne Somers Estate

    Where Hollywood history meets desert magic. Welcome to Somerset Ranch, the legendary Palm Springs retreat cherished by Suzanne Somers for over 40 years. Set on 28 private acres, this extraordinary compound offers panoramic desert views, unforgettable sunrises and sunsets, and timeless Old Hollywood glamour. Perfect for wellness retreats, family gatherings, and luxury escapes.

    Terraced into the hillside, Somerset Ranch features seven 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.
