Deep Well Ranch

Deep Well Ranch (DWR) has a long and colorful history as an integral part of Palm Springs, California. In 1926, scientist Henry Pearson purchased the current DWR property. He drilled his 1st well and was pleased to discover water close to the surface. Giving in to his curiosity, he drilled deeper, finding more "layers" of water, finally stopping at 630 feet.  As a result of this well, then the deepest in the Coachella Valley, the property became known as Deep Well Ranch. Originally an orchard, and then a working ranch, Deep Well Ranch later became the Deep Well Guest Ranch, active through World War II. An October, 1942 guest ranch sales brochure states "Guests arriving during the day for their Palm Springs holiday at the guest ranch will be met at the Southern Pacific rail station by a stage coach.  Night train arrivals will be met by private car".  In addition, "at least one trip a day will be made into the Village (Palm Springs) from the Ranch for mail and for the convenience of guests".  This service was provided using a buckboard wagon and horse team. Deep Well Ranch is only one of three remaining communities in Palm Springs that provides a 24hr a day / 7day a week manned guard gate. Each resident homeowner is provided with up to two parking decals to facilitate their entrance, but must contact the gate to authorize visitors, be they family, friends or service personnel. In addition, Deep Well Ranch offers an active Neighborhood Crime Watch group helping to ensure the security of "the Ranch".  The community is a Planned Unit Development  (PUD) that consists of 111 units in an idyllic park-like setting of 24 lush, beautifully landscaped and maintained acres, just minutes from the Palm Springs village center. Deep Well Ranch offers 31 detached condos (single family homes) on the outer perimeter of Primavera Dr (our main street), 8 two-story townhouse condos on 2 of our cul-de-sacs, and 72 single-story attached condos in small blocks of 3 or 4 units throughout the Ranch. In addition to Primavera (meaning 'Spring' in Spanish), our other streets are Verano ('Summer'), Invierno ('Winter') and Otono ('Autumn/Fall') Board of Directors is comprised of 8 full-time resident, elected homeowners who all love living in Deep Well Ranch and want to ensure that it remains a beautiful, desireable community for years to come.    To find current condo listings at Deepwell Ranch click here:  http://condocompare.com/CA/Palm-Springs-condos/Deepwell-Ranch.aspx Courtesy of: Deepwell Ranch
