Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch And The People Who Took Care Of It
Brice Gordon and his wife, Karen Gordon, were the longtime caretakers and property managers of Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch in New Mexico, where they handled the day-to-day operation of the sprawling estate. Brice Gordon told the FBI in 2007 that he had been working at the ranch for roughly four years and that the property typically employed five or six full-time workers along with seasonal staff. The Gordons oversaw employees, contractors, vehicles, maintenance and construction, while also coordinating Epstein’s arrivals and stays at the property. Epstein generally visited the ranch for several weeks at a time, often with little advance notice, and arrived with members of his personal staff, including assistants, security personnel, trainers and sometimes masseuses. The Gordons therefore occupied an important logistical position inside Epstein’s operation, controlling access to the property and helping keep one of his most isolated residences functioning. Their importance to the broader Epstein story came from the fact that their responsibilities were not confined to ordinary ranch maintenance. Records showed that Brice Gordon was also involved with Epstein’s Little St. James property and was directed to oversee construction projects there, including a spa and massage-related facilities, while Karen Gordon handled communications and operational matters across Epstein’s properties. Emails showed the Gordons reporting directly to Epstein about staffing, security, contractors and even press inquiries, demonstrating how closely integrated they were into the infrastructure surrounding him. Brice Gordon was important enough to Epstein that he was reportedly left a $2 million bequest in Epstein’s 2019 trust. Neither Brice nor Karen Gordon has been established as having participated in Epstein’s sexual abuse, but their roles placed them unusually close to the logistics, personnel and movement surrounding Zorro Ranch, making their records and testimony potentially valuable in reconstructing how the property operated and who passed through it. to contact me: [email protected]
