Texas real-estate mogul and MAGA millionaire Don Huffines, currently a candidate for Texas Comptroller, turned heads Sunday after being revealed to have been the mystery purchaser of Jeffrey Epstein’s “Zorro Ranch,” a sprawling complex spanning over 7,600 acres in central New Mexico.
First reported on Friday by the Sante Fe New Mexican, Huffines had purchased Epstein’s ranch in 2023 using a limited liability company he created just weeks before the purchase. The ranch, which Huffines has since renamed “Rancho de San Rafael,” was at the center of Epstein’s supposed plan to “seed the human race with his DNA by impregnating women,” the New York Times previously reported.
“What an odd piece of property to purchase,” wrote one stunned onlooker, journalist Molly Jong-Fast, in a social media post Sunday on X.
Huffines proudly touts his support of President Donald Trump on his campaign website, and his son, Russell Huffines, was hired by the Trump administration last June as associate director of agency outreach, a position he’s paid $83,500 a year for and still holds today, RealClear Investigations has reported.
The New Mexico complex was also mentioned in a particularly disturbing email published recently in the Justice Department’s online database of Epstein files.
In the email, an individual alleged that the bodies of at least “two foreign girls” were buried at the property, both of whom died by strangulation. The email prompted a top New Mexico official to call for an investigation into the property as recently as Friday.
As to why Huffines would purchase the property, critics were left wondering, with some noting the connections between the Huffines family and the Trump administration.
“Far-right Republican Don Huffines of Texas bought Epstein’s disgraced Zorro Ranch in New Mexico. His son, Russell Huffines, works in the White House,” wrote author Brittany Belle to their nearly 125,000 followers on X. “Yet another name connected to Epstein’s past inside the [White House] orbit.”
