Of all the properties that rushed to the open market after Jeffrey Epstein’s demise, the generous slice of New Mexico seems to be one of the few still waiting for a new owner. Appearing on the open market in the summer of 2021 tagged at $27.5 million, the sprawling Santa Fe estate has seen a number of price cuts, the most recent of which leaves the property asking $18 million. It was last tagged at $21.5 million.
Titled Zorro Ranch and containing within its demarcation lines a number of structures culminating in a three-story main house containing four bedrooms, the estate would make an ideal business or corporate retreat. The home’s more dramatic spaces include a spacious library with walls of built-in floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and multiple sets of French doors that open to 325 days of sunshine a year. In the rear of the home, a loggia overlooks the pool area.
Filling out the property is a firehouse, a yurt, a greenhouse, a caretaker’s cottage, a barn with stables and tack room (as well as outdoor equestrian accommodations), a lodge, and a number of additional residences that include two additional houses and a log cabin.
The other Epstein properties that remain on the market: his two Caribbean islands; they appeared on the market last spring tagged at $55 million a pop. The Straus House, his historic Manhattan mansion, sold in early 2021 for $51 million — it was initially listed at $88 million — while his Palm Beach retreat sold in 2020 to a developer who demolished it ahead of building anew.
