Epstein’s Rodeo… Why is Nothing Really Happening at Zorro Ranch?

At the epicenter of the Epstein insanity is a place where many of the victims were taken for God knows what. It seems like there was a lot more going on than herding cattle and roping steers. This epicenter that I am referring to is Zorro Ranch in New Mexico. We know Jeffrey had residence in West Palm Beach, New York City and the ranch as well. These seem to be the triumvirate.

So, with all of the DOJ information dumps and lack of any accountability for anyone, one question still remains. Why is nothing happening at Zorro Ranch? Have you heard the cliché, “that’s where the bodies are buried”? Well, this is literally where THE BODIES ARE BURIED!!!!

What is the Zorro Ranch?

Zorro Ranch is a large estate located near Stanley, New Mexico. It was originally built in the early 2000s and became associated with Jeffrey Epstein, who purchased the property in 1993. Epstein used the ranch as one of his many properties and it gained notoriety as part of his network of abuse. After Epstein’s arrest and death in 2019, the estate came under public scrutiny, as many victims and advocates pointed to it as a key location in Epstein’s abuse network. Since then, it’s been involved in legal and civil proceedings.

There isn’t a verified, publicly released list of people who visited Zorro Ranch with Jeffrey Epstein. However, we do know Virginia Giuffre testified about being taken there, and Maria Farmer claimed she visited in the mid-1990s. Others, like Noam Chomsky or Woody Allen, have been photographed or mentioned in emails, but no one’s visits have been definitively confirmed, and no full guest list has been made public.

Many have alleged that they were trafficked and abused there as minors. Some accounts describe organized sexual abuse, with victims saying they were brought to the ranch from a young age. The estate became a symbol in the broader investigation into Epstein’s abuse network, and it’s been tied to allegations of human trafficking, exploitation, and a lack of oversight in how Epstein operated.

Does Jeffrey Epstein or His Estate Still Own the Ranch?

Epstein no longer owns the ranch. But this is where it all gets very interesting. As if it needed any more craziness? The ranch did not wind up in the hands of some regular ho-hum investor or person looking to rustle up some horses. The owner of the Zorro Ranch (no longer Zorro) is a man named Don Huffines. And holy sh*t, wait till you go down that rabbit hole.

Don Huffines is a Texas businessman and politician. He’s been a state senator in Texas, known for his conservative views, and he ran for governor in the 2022 Republican primary. Huffines grew up in Dallas, Texas. He earned a degree in business from Texas A&M University and went into the real estate business, eventually becoming a successful real estate investor. He served in the Texas State Senate from 2015 to 2023, representing District 16 in North Texas. He’s known for his libertarian-leaning conservative stance.

So yes, Don Huffines’ family holding company purchased the former Zorro Ranch in 2023. The ranch has been renamed San Rafael Ranch, and some of the proceeds are going toward compensation for Epstein’s victims. The family says they hadn’t visited the property before buying it (why?) and they’re cooperating with any investigation.

What Else Do We Know (or Not Know) About Huffines?

Interestingly, he is a long-time friend of Congressman Thomas Massie. Massie endorsed Huffines in his gubernatorial bid against current Governor Greg Abbott. Yes, that same Thomas Massie who is making life difficult for Trump. The same Thomas Massie, who was the only Republican who grilled Pam Bondi in the hearings on the DOJ Epstein redactions. It looks like Massie might be a total phony as well. For the record, Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz also endorsed Huffines. Gaetz himself has been linked to minors, although not proven (or at least not convicted).

As for Donald Trump, Huffines and Trump are connected mostly through political alignment. Huffines had endorsed Trump for president multiple times, saying he helped bundle over 1.5 million dollars for Trump-related efforts, and echoed Trump’s calls for a Texas election audit. Trump did not endorse Huffines when he ran against Greg Abbott.

For some reason, though, Huffines’ name keeps surfacing around Epstein-adjacent questions that deserve daylight, not damage control. Here is one GLOWING reason. Huffines’ son, Russell Huffines, works in the Trump administration (White House Office of Cabinet Affairs)

Public records show Don Huffines has made significant donations to Trump. Including: $100,000 to MAGA Inc. (2025), $50,000 to Trump Victory (2020), and $50,000 to Trump 47 Committee (2024). Huffines had been endorsed by Trump for Texas Comptroller in the past.
