EXCLUSIVE: New Hampshire Mansion Where Ghislaine Maxwell Was Arrested Undergoes Major Price Cut Just 3 Months After It Was Listed

The sprawling New Hampshire home where Ghislaine Maxwell was finally apprehended by authorities after a yearlong search has undergone a significant price cut—just three months after it was put on the market for $2.5 million.

Maxwell was arrested five years ago at the home in Bradford, where she had been in hiding. In its listing, the expansive property is described as being "one of the most remarkable homes on the market," having last traded hands in December 2019 for $1.1 million.

However, while the dwelling has ample amenities on offer—including a staggering 156 acres of land—it has struggled to find a buyer, perhaps stymied by the ongoing media coverage of Maxwell's case, which took another turn earlier this month when the Supreme Court turned down an appeal to overturn her conviction.

Just days later, the home's initial asking price was trimmed by $130,000, bringing it down to $2.37 million.

Property records reveal that the home was purchased through a limited liability company called Granite Realty, which is reported to have ties to Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison "for her role in a scheme to sexually exploit and abuse multiple minor girls with Jeffrey Epstein over the course of a decade" in 2022.

Maxwell was arrested by FBI agents at the property on July 2, 2020, having reportedly taken refuge at the 156-acre estate not long after Epstein was found dead inside his jail cell in August 2019.

Her disappearance sparked a lengthy hunt by authorities, who eventually tracked her to the home using GPS data from her cellphone, according to NBC News.

The LLC through which the home was purchased was linked to Maxwell's alleged partner, tech mogul Scott Borgerson, who is 14 years her junior—and questions were quickly raised about where the money from the sale would go.

Speaking to Realtor.com®, seasoned real estate agent Cara Ameer, with Coldwell Banker, previously noted that the home's sordid history could well affect its ability to sell, not least because prospective buyers might be worried about putting money into the hands of anyone associated with Maxwell.

"It’s not famous in a good way. The backstory may be enough to quash any interest from a buyer, let alone not wanting to give their money to Maxwell or anyone connected to her by buying the home," she said.

"There may be people who feel morally opposed to having anything to do with this property because of Maxwell’s prior actions, particularly that this home was used as a hiding place before she was arrested.

"The negative publicity surrounding this property is going to be difficult to overcome, no matter what.  Finding that one buyer who may not care will be difficult, [particularly if] the proceeds of the home are used to support the defense of someone associated with such awful behavior involving young girls."

Still, Ameer said that certain savvy buyers could see an opportunity to secure a high-priced property for a lower sum—and use the home's backstory as a tool for negotiations.

"On the flip side, are there buyers who look for opportunities like this? Absolutely," she noted. "They may be able to separate the backstory and use this as a chance to negotiate a deal on a luxury property. The property may take a hit pricewise as a result."

Even with the reduced asking price, should the home secure an offer even close to $2.37 million, the seller will walk away with a profit of more than $1 million.

The home's listing does not mention the identity of the current owner, nor does it include details about the property's scandalous past.

Instead, the description highlights the property's "fine craftsmanship," noting that it boasts "gorgeous views of local hills and distant mountains" and would be a "dream" for a "hunter, farmer, horse lover, hiker, [or] privacy lover."

The property includes two dwellings: a timber-framed main house and a detached barn, each with two bedrooms.

"The main home consists of a gorgeous Great Room with stunning fieldstone fireplace as the focal point, with floor to ceiling windows overlooking a stone patio and views, and on the other side a covered porch with views of feature gardens with waterfall and pond," the listing notes.

In addition, the main house features a spacious eat-in kitchen, a sunroom with a wood-burning stove, and a dining space that is part of the open-concept living area.

However, it is the views that are considered the home's crown jewel, with the description adding that each of the spaces has "360-degree views of the beauty of nature."

"To complete this amazing offering is a workshop, full equipment garage, lovely fields, walking trails and surrounded by conservation land," the description concludes.

It is not known how long Maxwell had been living in the dwelling before her arrest. She was charged with six federal counts: sex trafficking of a minor, enticing a minor to travel to engage in criminal sexual activity, transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, and three counts of conspiracy.

She pleaded not guilty to all charges during her December 2021 trial, but was convicted on five of the counts, with a jury opting to acquit her on the charge of enticing a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts.

Maxwell's exact fortune at the time of her arrest was unknown, with prosecutors admitting that "her numerous accounts and substantial money movements render her total financial picture opaque and indeterminate."

She had previously owned a property in New York City that was sold in 2016, long before her arrest. Other details about her potential real estate holdings in other locations and countries have never been reported.
