Ghislaine Maxwell’s former New Hampshire hideout on the market again as top DOJ official plans meeting with Maxwell

Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate and girlfriend of the late Jeffrey Epstein, is back in the news as Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Tuesday he plans to meet with her.

The announced meeting comes amid weeks of backlash over the Trump administration’s reversal on a promise to release more details from investigative files on Epstein, including Trump’s campaign promise to release Epstein’s client list. 

Maxwell, who was convicted of child sex trafficking in 2021, is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence. She has ties to New Hampshire.

She was arrested in 2020 on a secluded estate in Bradford, New Hampshire, where she was evidently hiding. The infamous property is also making headlines as it’s hit the market for a $2.5 million asking price, the Portsmouth Herald first reported.

The property listing from Four Seasons Sotheby’s calls it a “privacy lovers (sic) dream.” It sits on 156 private acres in Bradford and includes two homes: a timber-frame house and a restored 1800s Cape with a barn. It’s believed Maxwell quietly purchased the home in 2019, paying around $1.1 million cash through a shell company called Granite Reality, LLC. 

Maxwell was arrested on the property by federal agents on July 2, 2020, after Epstein died in prison in 2019. Investigators tracked her location using GPS data from phone calls she made to her lawyer and family.  

It’s long been unclear who owned the property, and the associated LLC. The LLC used to purchase the property was originally set up in 2019 by a Boston law firm, Nutter McClennen & Fish LLP. On July 28, 2020—shortly after Maxwell’s arrest—the registered name and address for the LLC were changed to Leah Saffian, a California lawyer known as a “fixer” for the Maxwell family.

In September 2024, Scott Borgerson, who was rumored to be romantically tied to Maxwell, became manager of the LLC, only to apparently sell the property a month later for $1.9 million, according to town property records.

Borgerson, a former coast guard officer and CEO of the maritime investment company CargoMetrics Technologies LLC, denied any romantic relationship with Maxwell and told the New York Post at the time that he didn’t know where Maxwell was living. But, two friends of Maxwell told The New York Times that the two previously lived together in a home in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts.

And, in a separate legal case, Maxwell’s former defense attorneys—Haddon, Morgan and Foreman, P.C.—who sued her in Colorado for $1 million for unpaid legal fees, said in court documents that Maxwell and Borgerson were secretly married in 2015 and divorced in 2021, and that Borgerson was hiding assets in New England to avoid paying off Maxwell’s debts.

According to the court case, Maxwell’s brother and the family lawyer repeatedly told the law firm that Borgerson controlled Maxwell’s money and “was responsible for delaying payments to the firm.”

The filing further alleges that Granite Reality LLC, Borgerson, and related entities, acquired several high-end properties using Maxwell’s assets, “either directly or through a trust, in an effort to shield them from creditors.” These properties included two condos in Boston, an estate in Manchester, Massachusetts, and the Bradford estate now back on the market.

That court case was resolved in late 2022. Borgerson filed to dissolve the Granite Reality LLC in December 2024.
