Couple’s ‘alpine retreat’: Longtime property managers for child sex offender, the late Jeffrey Epstein, had this Queenstown house on Alpine Retreat Rd built 20 years agoA Kiwi couple revealed to have run paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein’s properties also formerly owned a Queenstown section which they built a large house on. In 2003, the Gordons, who aren’t implicated in any criminal activity, bought a 3556 square metre section on Queenstown’s Alpine Retreat Rd, off Moke Lake Rd, for $500,000. In a property information memorandum in ’04, the couple’s address is given as Zorro Ranch. It’s not known if the Gordons ever resided at their Queenstown property, but they had lived in Dunedin in the ’90s after they’d been cheffing in the military, Karen for the navy and Brice for the army. The NZ Herald reports an Epstein trust listed Brice to receive $US2m, ‘‘if he survives me’’, just two days before Epstein committed suicide in 2019 in a federal jail.
