Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s former New Mexico estate has been sold after more than two years on the market, apparently at a massive discount.
The Zorro Ranch — the home where Epstein sexually abused young girls — has found a buyer months after the nearly $10 million price cut.
“We confirm the sale of the New Mexico property known as “Zorro Ranch” by the Epstein Estate. Proceeds are to be used for estate administration, including paying creditors,” said Daniel Weiner, an attorney representing Epstein’s estate.
The name of the new owner and the final price paid for the property were not disclosed as of August 22. The last list price was $18 million.
“While details of this sale (including purchase price and purchaser) are confidential, the estate will disclose the sale in its next quarterly balance sheet to be filed with probate court in St. Thomas, USVI,” Weiner said in a statement to an outlet.
Epstein had reportedly hoped to turn the sprawling 33,000-square-foot property into a “baby factory,” and several women reported being raped and assaulted there when they were minors.

According to a statement released to the New York Post, the contract for the property was signed in July. The proceeds are used for taxes and payments to creditors.
In May 2022, exclusively published photos of the home, which was bought through millionaire holding company Cypress Inc. Located in Stanley, New Mexico, the property spans nearly 8,000 acres and first came to market in July 2021.
The property, according to a previous listing, features a huge four bedroom three storey main house plus a caretaker’s apartment.
Several women have said they were sexually assaulted by Epstein at the estate, although the New York financier has never been charged with a crime in the state.
Epstein committed suicide in his New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.
Just days before his death, two women told a court about their experiences of being assaulted at Zorro Ranch in 2004.
A woman, identified as Jane Doe, told the court she was taken there when she was 15 and that Epstein abused her for hours and took her virginity.
Located between Santa Fe and Albuquerque, the ranch was acquired by Epstein, 66, through his Cypress Inc. holding company in 1993
The main residence is approximately 30,000 square meters and features interiors designed by renowned Moroccan-born photographer and interior designer Alberto Pinto
Just inside the ranch’s main entrance is Ranch Central, a “small village of homes and offices” where Epstein housed his employees
Throughout his life, Epstein took strict measures to limit access to the ranch
Ownership records show that he purchased the ranch from Gary King in 1993.
King was New Mexico Attorney General at the time and the deal included private and leased states.
Virginia Giuffre also said at the time she was trafficked to the Santa Fe County ranch, while Maria Farmer claimed her sister Annie was attacked at the home in 1996 by millionaire and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, 60.
Epstein guarded the property to ensure it was shielded from the world.
The property had its own fire station with a working engine and water tanks in case of a fire.
The financier used the 8,000-acre ranch as a playground for his VIP guests, whom he brought to the secluded property several times a year.

Epstein’s private pilot Larry Visoki lived in the Blue House near the property line.
Visoki’s home while he was local and in New Mexico was the 1,650-square-foot, two-bedroom, two-bathroom “Blue House.”
This home featured a two-car garage, tennis court, and basketball hoops.

The property’s remoteness and sheer size assured Epstein and his “guests” that it would remain self-sufficient and secluded from the outside world
Epstein’s private pilot, Larry Visoki, lived in the Blue House near the western boundary of the property. Visoki, 62, took the stand at Maxwell’s trial to testify before the high-profile clients he had flown on Epstein’s plane, including former President Bill Clinton

Sales from Epstein’s other estates were used to fund the Epstein Victims’ Compensation Program, which began in June 2020.
The pervert’s Manhattan townhouse sold for $51 million in 2021, while his Palm Beach, Florida home sold for $18.5 million.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the compensation program was funded with over $140 million in 2021, Weiner said.
