[GRADE A1 — DOJ-OGR prosecution documents; GRADE C — victim testimony (FBI intake / unverified allegation)]
Epstein's New Mexico ranch at 49 Zorro Ranch Road is documented in doj-ogr, svetimfm, and epstein-doc-explorer source datasets. The property is located in a remote area of New Mexico, near the town of Stanley, approximately 35 miles southeast of Santa Fe.
Victim testimony places a recruited minor at the Zorro Ranch in 2001. According to court filings, Virginia Roberts was taken to the property during the period of her recruitment and abuse. The remoteness of the ranch distinguishes it from the Palm Beach and Manhattan properties — while those are urban or suburban properties with proximity to public spaces, the New Mexico ranch is geographically isolated.
The property was reportedly equipped with a landing strip, enabling direct private aviation access without commercial airport transit. This infrastructure detail is consistent with the CBP border records documenting Epstein's use of private aircraft (including N909JE) for travel.
Zorro Ranch's documented features — geographic isolation, private aviation access, and victim testimony placing minors at the property — establish it as a location of concern in the documentary record. The isolation provided a degree of physical separation from public observation that urban properties did not. New Mexico authorities investigated the property but no state-level charges resulted from that investigation.
WHAT THIS SHOWS AND DOES NOT SHOW: Court filings and victim testimony place a recruited minor at Zorro Ranch in 2001. The property is documented as remote and privately accessible by air. The record does NOT establish the full scope of activities at this location — the New Mexico investigation did not result in charges. Victim testimony referencing the property is Grade C (FBI intake / unverified allegation in the broader context) where it has not been subject to cross-examination at trial, though elements of Virginia Roberts's testimony were presented in the Maxwell trial.
