Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s former New Mexico estate has been sold after more than two years on the market, apparently with a massive price drop.
Zorro Ranch – the home where Epstein sexually assaulted young girls – found a buyer months after the price was slashed by nearly $10 million.
“We confirm the sale by Epstein’s estate of the New Mexico property known as the ‘Zorro Ranch,’ with the proceeds to be used for the administration of the estate, including payment of creditors,” it said. said Daniel Weiner, a lawyer 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 listing price was $18 million.
“While the details of this sale (including purchase price and buyer) are confidential, the estate will disclose the sale in its next quarterly accounting which will be filed with the probate court in St. Thomas, USVI,” Weiner said in a statement to media. .
Epstein reportedly hoped to turn the sprawling 33,000 square foot property into a “baby factory”, and several women have said they were raped and assaulted there when they were underage.

Footage obtained by DailyMail.com shows the huge expanse of Epstein’s 8,000-acre ranch in which several girls were raped and abused by the disgraced financier.
Epstein killed himself in his New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal charges.
According to a press release published in New York Post, the property entered into a contract in July. The proceeds will be used to pay taxes and creditors.
In May 2022, DailyMail.com exclusively revealed photos of the home, purchased through millionaire holding company Cypress Inc. The Stanley, New Mexico estate spans nearly 8,000 acres and was first released to the market in July 2021.
The estate includes a huge three-story, four-bedroom main house and a caretaker’s residence, according to a previous announcement.
Several women have said they were sexually assaulted by Epstein at the property, although the New York financier has never been charged in the state for any crime.
Epstein killed himself in his New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
Just days before his death, two women recounted in court their experiences of being assaulted at the Zorro Ranch in 2004.
A woman, identified as Jane Doe, told the court she was brought there when she was 15 and Epstein abused her for hours and took away her virginity.
The ranch sits between Santa Fe and Albuquerque and was acquired by Epstein, 66, through his holding company Cypress Inc in 1993.
The main residence covers approximately 30,000 square feet with interiors designed by renowned Moroccan-born photographer and interior designer, Alberto Pinto.
Just inside the ranch’s main entrance, Ranch Central is a “small village of residences and work buildings” where Epstein housed his staff.
During his lifetime, Epstein took strict measures to limit access to the ranch.
Property records indicate he purchased the ranch from Gary King in 1993.
King was then Attorney General of New Mexico, and the deal included private and leased federal lands.
At the time, Virginia Giuffre also said she was trafficked to the Santa Fe County ranch, while Maria Farmer claimed her sister Annie was assaulted at home in 1996 by the millionaire and his co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, 60 years old.
Epstein guarded the property to ensure it was isolated from the world.
The property had its own fire station with a working engine and fire holding water tanks in case of fire.
The financier used the 8,000-acre ranch as a playground for his VIP guests, whom he brought to the secluded estate several times a year.

The Blue House, located near the property line, was where Epstein’s private pilot Larry Visoki lived.
Visoki’s home when she was in the field and in New Mexico was the 1,650-square-foot, two-bedroom, two-bathroom “Blue House.”
This house was equipped with a garage for two vehicles, a tennis court and basketball hoops.

Women claim they were airlifted to his ranch and assaulted by Epstein and his lieutenant and co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, 60.
It has its own fire station with a working engine and fire holding water tanks that store 5,000 gallons near the main residence and 10,000 gallons at Ranch Central.

The remoteness and scale of the estate assured Epstein and his “guests” that he would remain self-sufficient and removed from the outside world.
The Blue House, located near the western boundary of the property, was where Epstein’s private pilot Larry Visoki lived. Visoki, 62, spoke at Maxwell’s trial to testify about the high-profile clients he had flown on Epstein’s plane, including former President Bill Clinton.

During Epstein’s lifetime, the sprawling compound was guarded by surveillance cameras and secure gates and fences.

Sales from Epstein’s other estates were used to fund the Epstein Victim Compensation Program, established in June 2020.
The pervert’s Manhattan home sold for $51 million in 2021, while his Palm Beach, Florida home sold for $18.5 million.
Weiner said that as of 2021, the offset program has been funded to the tune of more than $140 million, according to the the wall street journal.
