Depp and Heard are reportedly eyeing several palatial pads to temporarily call home as he shoots the Disney musical, reported Sun Online.
The 50-year-old star was looking to rent a home in Surrey previously occupied by fellow A-list stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, but the deal fell through.
"He's keen on the Home Counties (around London) and has his heart set on a ranch," a source said.
Depp is set to star alongside Oscar winner Meryl Streep, 'Star Trek' hunk Chris Pine, James Corden and Emily Blunt in the movie, based on a musical Broadway of the same name.
