7558 King George Drive was expressly named in Congress’s 2025 subpoena to Jeffrey Epstein’s estate. It is the smaller of two Ohio houses regularly identified in reporting about Epstein’s property holdings and his relationship with Leslie Wexner. Its distinct history concerns property ownership, a later transfer into a Wexner family trust and the limits of the surviving account of how Epstein used the house.
Forbes’s July 2025 property investigation reports a 1994 purchase for about $365,000 and a 2007 transfer for $0 to a trust for Abigail Wexner. That account is attributable reporting about title history. It does not establish a continuous period of personal residence or explain the financial purpose of the transfer.
The house warrants a separate address record because evidence about “New Albany” can refer to different homes, offices, companies and periods. The much larger East Dublin Granville Road property has its own ownership chain and survivor evidence. Those details cannot automatically be assigned to King George Drive.
Important Points
- King George Drive and East Dublin Granville Road are different properties. Congress listed them separately.
- Published property data identifies this house with parcel 222-001301 and a 1993 construction date. A building’s construction year is distinct from the history of the land or a trust.
- A reported property purchase establishes a different kind of connection from a mailing address, visit, lease or permanent residence.
- The publicly reported $0 transfer does not establish that the house was economically worthless or that no related financial consideration existed.
- The 2007 transfer falls in the year Wexner says he ended Epstein’s management of his personal finances. The timing does not prove that this house settled any particular debt or claim.
- Later congressional questioning raised an earlier, 1990 date. The available unofficial transcript records a questioner’s premise and Wexner’s lack of recollection, rather than Wexner confirming that transfer.
- Richard Kahn’s later account of Ohio property ownership presents a further chronology issue. His recollection is not a substitute for a deed search.
- No reviewed source establishes that Maria Farmer’s alleged 1996 assault occurred at this address.
- Later private owners and occupants have no demonstrated connection to Epstein’s historical conduct and are not identified here.
The House and Its Geographic Identity
The published listing record identifies the house in Ashton Grove, New Albany, Franklin County, and gives parcel 222-001301. It records a 1993 construction year. These identifiers help separate the house from properties with similar neighborhood descriptions and from the much larger residence on East Dublin Granville Road.
The same listing distinguishes two area measures: an auditor sourced building area of 2,799 square feet and a larger, owner supplied total living area of 3,599 square feet. Other property portals display still different rounded figures. The larger number should therefore not be presented as an independently verified measurement of the house throughout Epstein’s ownership.
The building’s present interior arrangements, later renovations and access details are unnecessary to the historical issue. Modern sales material describes a house many years after Epstein’s reported disposal. It cannot reliably reconstruct every aspect of the premises during the 1990s or 2000s.
Acquisition and the Limits of the Ownership Record
Zillow’s historical transaction table records a July 7, 1994 sale at $364,636, labeled as a public record. That date and amount are consistent with the approximate acquisition reported by Forbes. The portal does not supply the original deed image in the cited record.
A sale entry can corroborate a transaction date and amount without establishing every legal detail of ownership. The deed would identify the grantor, grantee, capacity in which a party signed, property description and recording particulars. A trust instrument or other associated agreement may separately determine beneficial ownership and the purpose of a transfer.
The original instruments remain unverified. The exact trust title, grantor and grantee capacities, and execution and recording dates therefore remain unresolved. The reported acquisition also does not establish when or how regularly Epstein personally occupied the house.
The 2007 Transfer and the Wexner Financial Separation
Forbes reports that the house passed to an Abigail Wexner trust in 2007 for $0. The trust subsequently sold it in 2011. Both transactions predated Epstein’s death, so this house was not among the properties sold by his estate after 2019.
Wexner’s August 8, 2019 public letter supplies his explanation of the wider financial break. He said Epstein was to step back from managing the family’s personal finances by early fall 2007. Wexner said the process revealed misappropriation, that ties were severed and that some money was recovered. He described Epstein as someone who had deceived him.
That statement concerns the overall relationship. It does not identify King George Drive as a specified repayment, settlement asset or charitable contribution. Nor does the reported transfer price establish any of those purposes. Connecting this property to a particular financial obligation would require the conveyance and the corresponding agreement or accounting entry.
The distinction matters because a database price field records only one part of a transaction. It should not be treated as a valuation or a complete account of arrangements between the parties. Without the instruments, claims that the conveyance concealed assets, bought silence or satisfied a particular debt would require additional evidence.
Later Sales and the End of the Epstein Connection
The property portal’s history lists a February 3, 2011 sale at $365,300 and a September 29, 2021 sale at $780,000. The former is broadly consistent with the approximately $365,000 later sale reported by Forbes. The amounts should retain the precision and provenance of their respective sources rather than be merged into a supposedly exact price.
These subsequent transactions help establish the sequence after Epstein’s reported transfer. They do not implicate later purchasers or show that Epstein received proceeds from the later sales. A comparison of the 1994 and 2011 prices also does not calculate Epstein’s profit or loss: the two transactions involved different reported sellers and intervening ownership arrangements.
The Address in Congressional Questioning
The House Oversight Committee released Wexner’s deposition video on February 19, 2026, following his examination in Ohio the previous day. The address was raised during that examination.
An unofficial, machine generated transcription of the recording places a question about the 7500 block of King George Drive at approximately 56 minutes 47 seconds. It records Wexner as unfamiliar with the address. At approximately 3 hours 5 minutes, a questioner described a home on that block as having passed to Epstein in 1990. Wexner referred to a house purchased from Jack Kessler; when the questioner distinguished the King George property, Wexner said he had no recollection.
This passage does not establish the questioner’s 1990 premise. It also does not reconcile that premise with the reported 1994 purchase. The available text is a machine generated research aid rather than a certified transcript; transcription errors remain possible. Most importantly, a premise in a question cannot be presented as an admission by the witness.
The unofficial transcription of Richard Kahn’s congressional deposition, at approximately 5 hours 38 minutes, records another qualification. Asked about Ohio properties, Kahn said Epstein had none at incarceration or at the time of the testimony. He added his belief that Epstein no longer owned Ohio property when Kahn began working for him in 2005. Kahn said the earlier property documents had never been in his possession and that he did not know where they would be, unless held in Epstein’s emails.
Kahn’s stated belief about 2005 is difficult to reconcile with the reported 2007 transfer if both concern the same legal ownership interest. The available materials do not settle the discrepancy. His answer concerns his knowledge and possession of documents; it does not establish that no deed survives in the county records or that historical estate records were destroyed.
The 2025 Subpoena
Requests 13 and 14 of the August 25, 2025 subpoena each name King George Drive separately from East Dublin Granville Road. The requests sought property maintenance, management and service records, and video or still photography, across the period January 1, 1990 through August 10, 2019.
The scope covered properties owned, rented, operated or used by Epstein. It therefore extended beyond assets remaining in his estate at death. The subpoena proves that Congress sought this evidence. It does not establish that cameras existed at this house, that particular footage survived or that the estate possessed every requested item.
Maria Farmer’s Account Must Remain Address Specific
Farmer’s 2023 federal tort claim says she worked as an artist in residence at Epstein’s New Albany home during summer 1996, adjacent to Wexner property. It alleges abuse by Epstein and Maxwell and restrictions on her departure. The narrative does not identify King George Drive as the assault location.
The broader Ohio account is important survivor evidence. Its geographic specificity should be preserved, without transferring the allegations to every house that Epstein reportedly owned in the same town. The New Albany property network article provides the wider setting; this address record does not establish a separate King George Drive assault.
Evidence Appearances

| House estate subpoena, requests 13 and 14 | August 25, 2025 | Exact address as a congressional evidence target | A request, not proof of responsive records or events |
| Forbes property investigation | July 22, 2025 | Reported Epstein ownership and subsequent trust transfer | Secondary reporting; original deed absent here |
| Historical property transaction table | Entries for 1994, 2011 and 2021 | Dated sale entries and prices | Portal data is not a certified title chain |
| MLS 221032860 listing record | 2021 listing | Parcel identity and distinction between area measurements | Later marketing record, not an Epstein era inspection |
| Wexner public letter | August 8, 2019 | Wexner’s account of the financial separation | Does not explain this property’s transfer |
| Wexner deposition transcription | February 18, 2026 | Questions about King George Drive and limited recollection | Unofficial transcription; question premises unproven |
| Kahn deposition transcription | March 2026 | Stated belief about Ohio ownership and missing records | Recollection does not resolve deed history |
| Farmer federal tort claim | 2023, describing 1996 | Survivor account concerning a New Albany residence | Does not identify this address as the alleged assault site |
What Remains Unresolved
The most important gap is the original title chain. It would allow the reported acquisition, any trust role, the later transfer and their respective execution and recording dates to be compared directly. That record should precede any confident explanation of why the asset moved.
Other unresolved questions concern use: who occupied the house during Epstein’s ownership, whether it accommodated staff or visitors, and what records of maintenance or management remain. The cited evidence does not establish any of those possibilities as the house’s principal function.
A record naming New Albany, a local company or an unspecified Ohio house does not establish a connection to this parcel. Property identification requires the exact address or another reliable link to King George Drive.
