MAGA Candidate Outed as New Owner of Epstein Property
A Trump devotee running for Texas comptroller purchased Jeffrey Epstein’s secluded desert ranch in New Mexico, where multiple survivors said they were abused by the late sex offender.
Records obtained by the Santa Fe New Mexican revealed that businessman Don Huffines, 67, bought Epstein’s infamous Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe County years after the disgraced financier’s death.
The sprawling property, with a 26,700-square-foot hilltop mansion, was sold for an undisclosed amount in 2023 to San Rafael Ranch LLC, which The New Mexican tied to Huffines and his family through public records requests. The property was valued at $27.5 million when it was first listed for sale in July 2021, two years after Epstein took his life at a New York correctional facility.
The ranch was valued for tax purposes at $21.1 million for tax year 2023, but San Rafael Ranch LLC protested, arguing in part that the notoriety” of the property and the sales price justified a lower valuation, and thus, lower taxes, according to The New Mexican. The Santa Fe County assessor later valued the property at $13.4 million for tax year 2023. The following year, it was renamed from 49 Zorro Ranch Road to 49 Rancho San Rafael Road.
