Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch in New Mexico was a sprawling 10,000-acre compound in Santa Fe County that became one of the most infamous properties linked to his alleged sex-trafficking network. A portion of the land—roughly 1,200 acres—was not privately owned but leased from the New Mexico State Land Office through Epstein’s shell company, Cypress Inc., under an agricultural land-use contract. State officials later revealed that the lease had been maintained for decades without oversight or genuine agricultural activity, effectively allowing Epstein to use public land as a privacy buffer for his secluded estate. After Epstein’s 2019 arrest and death, the New Mexico State Land Office canceled the lease, citing violations of public trust and misuse of state property. Investigations showed that Epstein’s lease terms, which were intended for grazing, were instead used to create restricted access zones around the compound, preventing entry onto land that technically belonged to the people of New Mexico.
Epstein also took advantage of New Mexico’s age of consent laws, which set the legal threshold at 17 years old, to minimize his legal exposure in the state. When he moved operations to Zorro Ranch after his 2008 conviction in Florida, New Mexico officials determined that because his victim in that case had been 17, he did not meet the criteria to register as a sex offender under their state laws. This legal loophole allowed him to reside and travel freely in New Mexico without the stigma or restrictions of public registration. Critics later called the decision “deeply troubling,” noting that Epstein’s influence, wealth, and legal resources enabled him to exploit state-level legal distinctions to shield himself from scrutiny. The combination of public land privilege and lenient age statutes made Zorro Ranch a legal gray zone—one that Epstein used to his advantage until the state finally revoked his land rights years after his death.
