Terrifying Details Exposed on Who Built Epstein’s New Mexico Ranch
A prominent commercial contractor with government ties built a secluded residence in the New Mexico desert for Jeffrey Epstein.
Epstein purchased Zorro Ranch from former Democratic Governor Bruce King in 1993. He then hired Bradbury Stamm Construction, a company better known for building federally classified facilities. Los Alamos National Laboratory and Kirtland Air Force Base, to erect a mansion for him on the 10,000-acre property. They also built him an expansive yard, a private airstrip with a hangar and helipad, a ranch office, a fire station, and a seven-bay heated garage.
Bradbury Stamm is New Mexico’s largest industrial and commercial contractor and is not known for building private homes, according to the journalist and author. Alisa Valdés-Rodriguez. Yet they did it anyway. The company’s phone number was listed under a series of contacts relating to Zorro Ranch in Epstein’s personal phone book, according to unredacted pages released by the Justice Department.
It’s unclear why the company would go out of its way to take on the Zorro Ranch project, although Valdes-Rodriguez speculates that it might have something to do with Ghislaine Maxwell’s father.
“Bradbury Stamm holds classified construction contracts at the New Mexico nuclear weapons labs that Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, Robert Maxwell, penetrated with hijacked spyware on behalf of Israeli military intelligence in the mid-1980s, according to publicly available FBI files and the testimony of Rafael Eitan, the Mossad operations chief who managed Maxwell as an asset,” Valdes-Rodriguez wrote. “Bradbury Stamm brings in hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts every year.”
Zorro Ranch, located about 30 miles south of Santa Fe in the high desert, was allegedly a hotbed of illicit activity while Epstein held the keys. Some of the child sex offenders’ notorious victims, including Virginia Giuffre, claimed to have been trafficked into the New Mexico area.
Emails issued by ranch staff claim that at least two girls were killed and buried under the building on Epstein’s orders, according to documents made public by the Justice Department through Epstein’s files. Epstein even considered turning the estate into a headquarters for genetic engineering experiments.
The property has since changed hands. In 2023, it was purchased by Donald Huffines, a former Texas state senator. candidate for the position of controller like a so-called “Republican Trump.” The Huffines family renamed the site “Rancho San Rafael.”
The Trump administration intervened in a New Mexico investigation into the property in 2019. In February, New Mexico lawmakers voted unanimously to continue another investigation into Zorro Ranch, creating a bipartisan “truth commission” to examine the site’s history. New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez also ordered his office to reopen the criminal investigation into Zorro Ranch, demanding “immediate access to the complete, unredacted federal record.”
