The former estate owned by Ghislaine Maxwell, the right-hand woman of Jeffrey Epstein, is now up for sale. The 156-acre New Hampshire retreat where Maxwell was arrested by federal agents in 2020 is back on the market with an asking price of $2.5 million, which is more than double what Maxwell paid for the property in December 2019.
The listing for the property, which doesn’t mention its notorious past, highlights the stunning panoramic views, secluded acreage, and fine craftsmanship of the estate. However, just five years ago, this serene country escape was at the center of one of the most high-profile criminal cases in recent memory.
Maxwell, who was convicted in 2021 for aiding Epstein in the sexual abuse of minor girls, was located at the estate through cellphone data after months of hiding. The property was purchased in 2019 for $1.1 million by a limited liability company tied to Maxwell and her former partner, Scott Borgerson, a tech entrepreneur. It served as Maxwell’s final hideaway before her arrest.
Prosecutors revealed in court that Maxwell used a fake identity as a journalist named Janet Marshall to acquire the property. The listing now portrays a different image of the estate, with its timber-framed main house featuring a grand room with a fieldstone fireplace, floor-to-ceiling windows, a stone patio, a sunroom, a woodburning stove, a large kitchen, and a covered porch.
The detached barn has been converted into a two-bedroom guesthouse, and the property includes manicured gardens, a pond, conservation trails, a workshop, and a garage. The real estate description markets the property as perfect for hunters, farmers, horse lovers, hikers, and those seeking privacy, emphasizing the breathtaking 360-degree views of nature.
Margaret Weathers of Four Seasons Sotheby’s is the listing agent for the property. Questions have been raised about where the proceeds from the sale will go, with concerns about whether the money will benefit victims or fund Maxwell’s legal defense.
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence at FCI Tallahassee and has appealed her conviction to the US Supreme Court. Her legal strategy revolves around a controversial 2007 non-prosecution agreement between Epstein and federal prosecutors in Florida, which she argues should have protected her from prosecution.
