Six months after its initial listing, the property of 10,000 acres in New Mexico that Jeffrey Epstein is accused of trafficking several women remains on sale for $27.5million.
In Sante Fe, 35 miles away, the Zorro Ranch was put on sale by Sotheby’s Neil Lyon Group in July.
The estate remains for sale despite the discovery that the former pedophile financier used it as a playground for his VIP clients half a decade later.
A 30,000-square foot house is included on the property. There’s also a 4,400 foot private grass air strip for accessing and leaving this area. The airstrip can be extended with the addition of a hangar or helipad.
The sex-trafficking trial against Epstein’s girlfriend GhislaineMaxwell is in its midst.
Maxwell, 59, is accused of grooming young girls and sex trafficking them to be ‘served up’ to be assaulted by her powerful boyfriend Epstein.
Last week, Maxwell’s accuser under the pseudonym Jane said she traveled to Epstein’s homes about ten times in New York and New Mexico on Epstein’s private plane and described the décor.
Federal prosecutors believe the private plane was used by Epstein to shuttle young sex trafficking victims between his sprawling homes in New York, New Mexico, Paris, the US Virgin Islands and Palm Beach.
In 1993, Gary King (New Mexico’s attorney general) sold Epstein the New Mexico property and private and leased federal land.

According to Sotheby’s, the three-level house is designed by Alberto Pinto. It includes a gym and large indoor pool.
Epstein was said to have been interested in turning the ranch and human breeding farm into an “embryo” for the “seeding of the human race.”
Another anonymous contractor claimed previously that Epstein had entertained Bill Clinton at the ranch many years back.

The property was purchased by Epstein in 1993.
He used Zorro Ranch, a 10,000-acre estate, as his playground.
In an interview with Eddy Aragon, Albuquerque radio station’s owner, an anonymous contractor said that the ranch was a typical working ranch with a small staff and very little security until Epstein arrived with his friends, often twice per year.
He claims that there was also a photograph of Bill Clinton and topless, under-aged women at Epstein’s main house.
He says, “It’s huge, it’s almost like a resort, up the hill. You can’t see it from the village down below. There’s also a loop road that leads up to it and he has a small airport.”

‘I think that he brought more staff to the event when he was accompanied by his entourage. He would come several times each year with an entourage consisting of around 30 people. You could see them partying there and bringing out the toys, four-wheelers, and all other stuff.
“I saw things at the house and on the computers which helped me decide if I was a good fit to work for him.” His office had many frames of photographs that included young topless girls and him.
Jeffrey Epstein has two angles to the library at his New Mexico ranch.

Epstein was being tried on charges of sextrafficking when he committed suicide in 2019.
Since then, his estate has been using real estate sales to fund the Epstein Victims’ Compensation Program, which was created in June 2020.
Epstein sold his Manhattan townhouse for $51million earlier this year. His Palm Beach home was purchased for $18.5 million.
Daniel Weiner, an estate lawyer, claims the program for compensation has so far been paid with $140 Million, according the Wall Street Journal.
Virginia Roberts is the Epstein accuser. Virginia shared photographs of herself at the property when she was 17 and claimed that she was taken there as an underage slave sex.
As well, Epstein revealed to scientists and close friends that he ‘hoped to seed the human race with his DNA by impregnating women’ at the vast New Mexico ranch, according to the New York Times.
Epstein’s Zorro Trust shell company purchased lands from the King family in New Mexico. The King family was a strong agricultural and political dynasty, which included Bruce King at the time.
Zorro agreed to lease the Kings public land rights, totaling 1,159 acres that were rented at $872.22 per year. Nearly 8,000 acres of ranch land was included, as well as privately owned.
County records show that Epstein started building a stable and detached garages in 1994. He then began to build his mansion in 1999. Including porches and patios, the mansion came to 57,420 square feet.
Maria Farmer, Epstein’s accuser, claimed that he and Ghislaine Maxwell, his former assistant at the time of abuse on her sister Zorro Ranch underage brother.
