Mega Edition: The Rough Road For Epstein's Estate When It Came To Unloading Zorro Ranch (11/20/25)

The estate of Jeffrey Epstein faced major hurdles in trying to sell Zorro Ranch, his massive and infamous New Mexico property. Initially listed for roughly $27.5 million, the ranch sat on the market without a buyer for more than a year as the price steadily dropped, eventually being reduced to around $18 million in an effort to attract interest. Beyond the financial challenges, a clouded title emerged when a small religious nonprofit claimed it owned the land through a deed reportedly transferred from Epstein for $200—an allegation the estate argued was fraudulent. That dispute triggered legal complications that stalled any potential sale while the ownership question was argued in court.Even once the legal issues began to resolve, Zorro Ranch remained a toxic asset. The property was widely associated with allegations of sexual abuse and trafficking tied directly to Epstein’s network, and the public scrutiny made potential buyers reluctant to become involved. Questions surrounding how proceeds would be distributed, particularly as victim compensation processes were ongoing, added further uncertainty. After nearly two years on the market, the estate finally managed to sell Zorro Ranch, but the deal was disclosed at an undisclosed price and made through a newly formed corporation—hardly the clean, high-value transaction Epstein’s estate had originally expected.to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
