Newly surfaced photos offer a rare glimpse inside Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch in New Mexico, revealing an array of stately rooms and eccentric decor.
Located in a small town on the outskirts of Santa Fe, the ranch was bought by the sex offender in 1993 from former New Mexico Governor Bruce King. Following Epstein’s death in 2019, it was sold to Texas businessman and politician Donald Huffines, a self-described “MAGA Trump Republican” who is running for Texas comptroller.
The property — which has its own airstrip and helipad — has drawn intense scrutiny since the Justice Department began releasing the Epstein files, which include multiple allegations of abuse at the 22,000-square-foot property.
Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre, who died in 2025, was photographed at Zorro Ranch. Other survivors, including Annie Farmer, have recounted the abuse they suffered there at the hands of Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
One alleged victim claimed she was forced to carry Epstein’s child in New Mexico, and the disgraced financier reportedly told friends that he planned to impregnate “20 women at a time” at the ranch, according to The New York Times.
Last month, state officials opened an investigation into whether Epstein used the remote property to traffic young women and girls — after earlier probes were closed without any charges being brought.
“We have heard years of allegations and rumors about Epstein’s activities in New Mexico, but unfortunately, federal investigations have failed to put together an official record,” Democratic state Rep. Andrea Romero said in a statement.
Among the millions of documents released by the DOJ, in compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, is a 2015 risk management report compiled for Epstein which includes 26 photos of the estate.
Several photos taken inside the main structure depict a number of lavishly decorated rooms.
The “Great Room” boasts a massive fireplace, chandelier, and a painting encased in a gilded frame. Nearby, an office features a library and a wooden desk equipped with a Mac computer. A large kitchen with a huge range and an indoor swimming pool can also be seen.
The report also includes photos of numerous standalone structures on the property, including stables, a log cabin, a barn, and a house with a wraparound porch surrounded by a picket fence.
Also nestled on the property is a fire house with a red fire truck and fire tanker.
Compiled by an insurance firm, the report highlights the property's security measures, including fire and burglar alarms, a perimeter gate, and a full-time caretaker.
The property was valued for tax purposes at $22 million in the report.
After it was purchased by Huffines in 2023, the sprawling estate was renamed the San Rafael Ranch — with plans underway to turn it into a religious center. Near the entrance, a makeshift memorial has been set up to honor the victims of Epstein.
“The plan all along is to make this property into a Christian retreat — as a matter of fact, it’s under construction today,” Huffines told former GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz in a podcast in February.
In January, state regulators ordered that construction be paused at the site, alleging that the necessary permits were not required, according to The Santa Fe New Mexican.
Huffines has dismissed criticism surrounding his purchase as “a political hit job.”
Last month, he told a podcast host that all proceeds from the sale were directed to victims of Epstein. He also noted that no law enforcement agency has contacted him regarding an investigation into the ranch but said he would “be happy to cooperate” if asked.
