Key Takeaways
Tucked Away was the Bradford, New Hampshire estate where the FBI arrested Ghislaine Maxwell on July 2, 2020. The location is established by federal court records, the District of New Hampshire removal proceeding, contemporaneous reporting, and later Department of Justice disclosures.
The estate was acquired in December 2019 for $1,070,750 through an LLC whose name is recorded in some primary and contemporaneous sources as Granite Reality LLC. Many later reports use Granite Realty LLC. That one word difference matters because unrelated companies use the more common Realty spelling.
The acquisition was not merely private. According to a prosecutor’s description of the real estate agent’s FBI interview, Maxwell and a male companion introduced themselves as Janet and Scott Marshall. They described her as a journalist who valued privacy, described him as retired from the British military and writing a book, said they wanted to close quickly by wire, and said an LLC was being established.
Released financial records add a separate layer. A federal investigative chart links the Bradford purchase to money moving from a UBS account associated with Montpelier Trust, through a TD Ameritrade account, and onward to the trust or account used for the property acquisition. The chart and related records document a transaction trail. They do not, standing alone, prove that the purchase money was criminal proceeds.
A Suspicious Activity Report summarized in released records reportedly suggested that the property was purchased with proceeds from human trafficking. A Suspicious Activity Report is a financial institution’s compliance report and investigative lead. It is not a conviction, a judicial finding, or proof that the reported theory was correct.
The arrest record documents concealment behavior. Prosecutors said Maxwell had remained inside, relied on private guards for errands, used a telephone wrapped in aluminum foil, and moved away from agents when they entered. Later unsealed warrant material showed that investigators used cellular location data and a court authorized device to narrow the phone’s location.
No reviewed evidence establishes that Jeffrey Epstein owned Tucked Away, visited it, lived there, or committed abuse there. The property entered the Epstein record after his July 2019 arrest and August 2019 death. Its importance is as Maxwell’s hideout, a financial and concealment node, and the site of her arrest, not as a documented site of Epstein’s earlier abuse.
Source and Provenance
This article gives priority to court records, Department of Justice disclosures, recorded property information, and contemporaneous reporting. Later investigative reporting is used where it connects newly released EFTA records to the purchase and banking trail.
| Source class | What it can establish | What it cannot establish by itself |
|---|---|---|
| Federal indictment, detention filings, transcripts, and orders | Charges, prosecutor representations, defense positions, judicial rulings, arrest details placed before the court, and case history | A prosecutor’s factual assertion is not automatically a trial finding |
| District of New Hampshire removal docket | Maxwell’s initial federal appearance, temporary detention, identity, and transfer to New York | It does not decide the merits of the Southern District of New York charges |
| Deed, tax card, and closing records | Purchaser name, property address, recording date, price, parcel details, and transaction participants | An LLC name does not reveal every beneficial owner or source of funds |
| Bank, trust, wire, and investigative records | Account relationships, transfer amounts, dates, intermediaries, and investigators’ reconstruction | A transfer path does not by itself prove illegality or the origin of every dollar |
| Suspicious Activity Reports | What a financial institution considered suspicious enough to report | A Suspicious Activity Report is not a criminal charge or adjudicated fact |
| Search warrant material | Investigative basis for cellular location techniques and the court authorization sought | A warrant affidavit can include allegations and investigative inferences |
| Real estate listings | Physical description, represented square footage, structures, amenities, list price, and marketing history | Listing language is promotional and is not a substitute for a survey or certified tax record |
| Reuters and local reporting | Interviews, document synthesis, transaction context, and later sale history | Reporting should be checked against linked primary records when available |
Private contact information, bank numbers, telephone numbers, and the identities of current private occupants are omitted. The address is included because it appears in court records, official disclosures, property records, and extensive public reporting about the federal arrest.
What Was Tucked Away?
Tucked Away was the name associated with a large rural estate on East Washington Road in Bradford, a small town in Merrimack County, New Hampshire. Reporting and property marketing described roughly 156 acres reached by a private drive of about half a mile. A stone near the entrance reportedly carried the property name.
The estate included a timber framed main residence, a separate older farmhouse or guest residence, a workshop or garage building, fields, forest, trails, and a pond. Real estate sources have not always described the structures in the same way. Some call the second dwelling a guest house or guest barn. Later rental marketing described an antique farmhouse with a newer addition. These descriptions can refer to different structures or to different marketing treatments of the same secondary residence.
The property’s physical isolation was directly relevant to its use. The long drive, extensive acreage, signs restricting entry, multiple buildings, and rural surroundings offered visual privacy and controlled access. Prosecutors relied on that setting, together with Maxwell’s aliases, security arrangements, finances, and international ties, when arguing that she posed a serious flight risk.
The name Tucked Away is best treated as an estate name, not a separate corporation. The recorded owner was an LLC, while other accounts and trusts appear in the financing trail.
Property Profile
| Feature | Publicly documented description | Caution |
|---|---|---|
| Acreage | Approximately 156 acres | Rounded figures recur across court and real estate reporting |
| Main house | Four bedrooms, approximately three and one half to four bathrooms, timber frame construction, large stone fireplace, broad views | Bedroom, bathroom, and square footage counts vary by listing and structure |
| Secondary residence | Older farmhouse, guest residence, or guest barn with residential space | Public listings use inconsistent labels |
| Other structures | Workshop, multi bay garage, barn space, gazebo, and utility buildings | A current survey is needed for a complete structure inventory |
| Access | Long private drive, reportedly about half a mile, with restricted entry signs | Distance is a reported approximation |
| Landscape | Fields, forest, trails, mountain views, and a pond fed by moving water | Mostly derived from marketing descriptions |
| Privacy | Remote placement and separation from the public road | Privacy was both a listing feature and a material fact in the detention record |
These features explain why the property was attractive to a buyer seeking isolation. They do not establish that every building was occupied by Maxwell, that all guards lived on site, or that any criminal act occurred in any particular structure.

| May and June 2026 | A secondary farmhouse on the estate was advertised for rent | Shows later separate use of part of the property; the listing did not disclose the Maxwell history |
The 2019 Purchase
The deed was recorded on December 13, 2019. Contemporaneous property reporting identified the purchaser as Granite Reality LLC and the price as $1,070,750. Later news and real estate reports frequently changed Reality to Realty. The distinction should be preserved in research because a similarly named but unrelated company denied involvement when contacted in 2020.
The timing is significant. The purchasing entity was formed shortly before the closing, the acquisition occurred five months after Epstein’s federal arrest and four months after his death, and Maxwell’s public whereabouts were then the subject of international speculation.
Use of an LLC in a real estate purchase is lawful and common. Its evidentiary significance here comes from the total context: the entity was newly formed, the buyers used names that were not their publicly known identities, they emphasized privacy, they sought a rapid wire funded closing, Maxwell then occupied the estate without publicly identifying herself, and prosecutors later characterized the arrangement as deliberately anonymized.
The public record supports describing the transaction as concealed or anonymized. It does not support treating the LLC’s existence alone as proof of money laundering, trafficking, fraud, or another crime.
Janet and Scott Marshall
At Maxwell’s July 2020 detention hearing, Assistant United States Attorney Alison Moe described information supplied to the FBI by the real estate agent. According to that account, the prospective buyers introduced themselves as Scott and Janet Marshall and spoke with British accents. The man said he was retired from the British military and writing a book. Janet said she was a journalist who valued privacy. The pair said they wanted to purchase quickly by wire and were establishing an LLC.
The government identified Janet Marshall as Maxwell. Public reporting and later financial records connected the male companion and transaction arrangements to Scott Borgerson. Sources differ in how they describe Borgerson’s personal relationship with Maxwell, including partner and husband. Court financial submissions treated their finances as combined and identified a marriage, while public records and public statements have not always resolved every detail of the relationship. This article uses companion, partner, or husband only where the cited source supports that description.
The alias evidence is strong because it was placed on the record by a prosecutor as the result of an FBI interview, and later released transaction records corroborate the concealed purchase structure. The evidence does not establish that every document was signed in the name Janet Marshall or that the alias was itself charged as a separate crime.
Ownership and Entity Structure
| Person or entity | Documented role | Evidence status |
|---|---|---|
| Ghislaine Maxwell | Occupant, person arrested at the estate, alias user, and grantor associated with Montpelier Trust | Confirmed by court, investigative, and financial records |
| Granite Reality LLC | Purchaser named in the deed cited by contemporaneous reporting | Confirmed, subject to the Reality versus Realty spelling issue |
| Scott Borgerson | Linked to the transaction entity, trust structure, financial arrangements, and the Scott Marshall presentation | Supported by court submissions, released records, and investigative reporting |
| Montpelier Trust | Trust associated with Maxwell and the source account for the major November 2019 UBS transfer | Supported by released bank and investigative records |
| UBS | Bank that held Maxwell linked accounts and sent nearly $8 million in November 2019 | Supported by released bank records and federal investigative analysis |
| TD Ameritrade account | Intermediate account in the federal flow chart | Supported by the investigative chart; exact legal ownership should be read from the underlying record |
| Closing attorney and real estate professionals | Facilitated the property transaction in ordinary professional roles | Their participation does not establish knowledge of Maxwell’s identity, charges, or any unlawful purpose |
| Private security personnel | Guarded Maxwell and handled errands while she remained at the estate | Described by prosecutors and later reporting |
The legal title, beneficial interest, trust funding, and practical control should not be collapsed into one concept. The deed identifies a purchaser. The trust and bank records address money. The arrest establishes Maxwell’s occupancy. Court financial papers address shared wealth and control. Each source answers a different question.
Financial Trail to Bradford
The strongest public reconstruction comes from an April 12, 2022 federal investigative chart released as EFTA01655199. The chart is titled with the Bradford address and says it draws on financial crime information. Reuters reported the following sequence from the document and related records:
| Stage | Date or period | Documented movement |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Before November 2019 | Montpelier Trust held a UBS account associated with Maxwell as grantor |
| 2 | November 12, 2019 | UBS transferred nearly $8 million from the trust linked account |
| 3 | November 2019 | Funds moved to a TD Ameritrade account for which Borgerson was reported as custodian |
| 4 | Before closing | Funds moved onward to the trust or account used in the Bradford acquisition |
| 5 | December 13, 2019 | The buyer entity completed the approximately $1.07 million purchase |
The transfer amount was much larger than the property price. The public chart therefore should not be paraphrased as an $8 million payment for a $1.07 million house. It shows a larger asset movement from which the property purchase funds were drawn.
Reuters also reported that UBS had received a grand jury subpoena concerning Maxwell’s financial dealings on August 16, 2019 and was communicating with the FBI about production in November. The bank nevertheless processed the transfer. Reuters said it could not determine whether UBS alerted authorities to that transaction. UBS declined to discuss client matters.
An investigator email released as EFTA01659441 discussed a Suspicious Activity Report that suggested the New Hampshire property had been purchased with proceeds from human trafficking. That language is important but must be classified correctly. It records a reported suspicion transmitted through the anti money laundering system. No cited judgment in Maxwell’s criminal case found that the Tucked Away purchase money was trafficking proceeds, and the property was not forfeited in the trial judgment on that stated theory.
Money Flow Chart
| Source or node | Transfer or function | Next node | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maxwell linked Montpelier Trust account at UBS | Nearly $8 million transferred on November 12, 2019 | TD Ameritrade account | High, based on federal investigative chart and bank records |
| TD Ameritrade account | Held or transmitted funds under Borgerson related control | Property purchase trust or transaction account | High for the broad path, but account level details require the source record |
| Property purchase trust or account | Supplied closing funds | Granite Reality LLC acquisition of 338 East Washington Road | High for the closing connection |
| Granite Reality LLC | Took record title | Tucked Away estate | High, based on deed and property records |
| Maxwell | Occupied the property and was arrested there | Federal custody | Conclusive as to arrest and occupancy |
This chart is a documentary map. It is not a finding that each intermediary knew Maxwell’s purpose, that every dollar came from a single source, or that the chain constituted a crime.
How the FBI Located Maxwell
The public record shows a layered search rather than a single tip. Federal investigators had identified a mobile telephone account opened under the name G Max. Earlier warrant authority allowed investigators to use GPS and historical cellular information to narrow the phone to an area of roughly one square mile in New Hampshire.
On July 1, 2020, an FBI agent sought additional authority to use a device capable of receiving or prompting signals from cellular devices near the target location. Public reporting commonly describes the device as a cell site simulator. The affidavit’s operative importance is narrower: investigators asked to locate the target phone more precisely without collecting the content of calls or messages through the device.
This sequence helps explain why the foil wrapped telephone found at the house was relevant to the detention argument. Prosecutors characterized the foil as a misguided attempt to avoid detection. The existence of the wrapped phone is a government representation supported by the search. The user’s exact motive cannot be known solely from the object.
Later released records also describe investigators examining travel, card, address, and property information connected to Maxwell and Borgerson. Those leads supplied context, but the unsealed cellular warrant provides the clearest public account of the final precision locating step.
The July 2, 2020 Arrest
FBI agents arrived at the Bradford estate early on July 2, 2020. Reuters reported that agents forced entry at the compound at the end of the long drive. Prosecutors later told the court that agents announced themselves and that Maxwell moved away from them into another room rather than opening the door. She was arrested inside without a publicly reported exchange of gunfire or physical injury.
The search and arrest produced several facts used by prosecutors in the bail litigation:
| Arrest detail | Government position | Evidentiary caution |
|---|---|---|
| Movement away from agents | Prosecutors argued that Maxwell tried to evade apprehension inside the house | It was not charged as a separate escape offense |
| Foil wrapped telephone | Prosecutors described it as an apparent effort to evade detection | The object supports concealment concerns but does not prove technical effectiveness or subjective intent by itself |
| Private security | Former British military personnel guarded the property | Employment as security is lawful; relevance came from isolation and avoidance of public exposure |
| Limited outside movement | Guards reportedly conducted errands while Maxwell remained inside | Based on the government’s detention submission |
| Remote setting | Large acreage, long drive, and controlled entrance | Physical facts supported the flight risk analysis |
Maxwell appeared that day by video before a federal judge in New Hampshire. The District of New Hampshire opened removal case No. 1:20 mj 00132. She was temporarily detained and transferred to the Southern District of New York, where the indictment had been filed under seal.
The Bail Record and Judicial Findings
The government argued that Maxwell posed an extreme flight risk because she had three citizenships, extensive international connections, opaque finances, substantial resources, a history of concealed movement, aliases, and the Bradford arrangement. The defense argued that she had remained in the United States, had not fled when Epstein was arrested, and could be released under restrictive conditions.
Judge Alison Nathan denied bail on July 14, 2020. The ruling reflected the total record, not the New Hampshire house alone. The judge concluded that the government had shown by a preponderance of the evidence that no combination of release conditions would reasonably assure Maxwell’s appearance.
The ruling makes certain points judicially established for detention purposes, including the flight risk determination. It does not transform every prosecutor statement about the house into a jury verdict. Careful publication should continue to label the government’s account of the foil wrapped phone, guards, and movement inside the residence as prosecutor representations supported by the arrest record.
Relationship to Maxwell’s Conviction
The charges tried in New York concerned Maxwell’s role in recruiting, grooming, transporting, and facilitating the sexual abuse of minor girls with Jeffrey Epstein during earlier years. The Department of Justice stated after sentencing that the proven conduct occurred at Epstein residences in New York, Florida, and New Mexico and at Maxwell’s London residence.
Tucked Away was not identified by the Justice Department as one of the locations where the trial proved that grooming or abuse occurred. The property was purchased in 2019, long after the core charged periods. Its legal significance lay in arrest, detention, flight risk, finances, and concealment.
On December 29, 2021, the jury convicted Maxwell of conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, conspiracy to transport minors to participate in illegal sex acts, transporting a minor to participate in illegal sex acts, sex trafficking conspiracy, and sex trafficking of a minor. She was acquitted on one count. On June 28, 2022, she received a 240 month prison sentence, five years of supervised release, and a fine.
The Second Circuit later affirmed the conviction, and the Supreme Court denied review in October 2025. Those later proceedings confirm the final criminal judgment but do not add a finding that Tucked Away was an abuse location.
Was Jeffrey Epstein Ever There?
No reviewed public evidence establishes that Jeffrey Epstein visited Tucked Away.
The timeline weighs strongly against casual assumptions. The purchase closed on December 13, 2019. Epstein had died on August 10, 2019, four months earlier. He therefore could not have visited the estate after the Maxwell linked entity acquired it.
Could he have visited the property before the purchase? That remains theoretically possible for any publicly marketed property, but no flight log, calendar, email, photograph, witness account, transaction record, or court filing reviewed for this article places him there. There is also no verified evidence that he selected the property, negotiated the deal, or directly funded the closing.
The financial chain originates in wealth associated with Maxwell’s trust and banking structure. Reuters reported that a substantial portion of Maxwell’s wealth traced to the 2015 sale of a Manhattan townhouse and movement through UBS accounts. Questions remain about the earlier origin and ownership history of some assets, but that is not the same as proof that Epstein paid for Tucked Away.
The responsible conclusion is narrow: Tucked Away is an EpsteinWiki subject because Maxwell was Epstein’s convicted accomplice and the property was her hideout and arrest site. It should not be described as Epstein’s New Hampshire property.
Was Abuse or Trafficking Conduct Documented at the Property?
No reviewed court judgment, victim account, indictment, or official investigative summary establishes that sexual abuse, recruitment, grooming, or trafficking occurred at Tucked Away.
The phrase human trafficking appears in the financial record because a Suspicious Activity Report reportedly proposed that the property had been purchased with trafficking proceeds. That is a theory about the source of money, not an allegation that trafficking acts occurred on the land.
This distinction protects both accuracy and survivors. Attaching unsupported abuse claims to a dramatic property can divert attention from the locations and conduct that survivors actually described and that the jury actually considered.

What the Evidence Does Not Prove
The public record reviewed for this article does not prove any of the following:
- That Jeffrey Epstein owned, occupied, or visited Tucked Away.
- That abuse, grooming, recruitment, or trafficking occurred at the property.
- That the entire nearly $8 million UBS transfer paid for the approximately $1.07 million property.
- That the Suspicious Activity Report’s trafficking proceeds theory was adopted by a court.
- That every real estate professional, lawyer, banker, guard, contractor, or neighbor knew Maxwell’s identity or purpose.
- That the use of an LLC, trust, wire transfer, alias, or security team was independently criminal.
- That all wealth used in the transaction originated with Epstein.
- That every person who stayed, worked, or visited at the estate participated in concealment.
- That the foil wrapped phone successfully blocked tracking or was wrapped by Maxwell personally.
- That later property owners or occupants have any connection to Maxwell or Epstein.
Fact Check and Common Errors
| Claim | Assessment | Correct treatment |
|---|---|---|
| The address was 338 Washington Road | Substantially correct but incomplete | Use 338 East Washington Road, Bradford, New Hampshire |
| The property was in Bedford | False | It was in Bradford. Early breaking reports sometimes confused the town name. |
| Granite Realty LLC bought the property | Potential spelling error | The recorded deed was reported as Granite Reality LLC. Note both forms and do not merge unrelated entities. |
| Maxwell bought the estate for $1.1 million | Accurate as a rounded figure | The reported recorded price was $1,070,750 |
| The estate was 156 acres | Accurate as a recurring approximation | Use approximately 156 acres unless citing a certified survey |
| Epstein hid there with Maxwell | Unsupported and chronologically impossible after purchase | Epstein died before the December 2019 closing |
| The property was part of Epstein’s abuse network | Unsupported | It was Maxwell’s post 2019 hideout and arrest site |
| The FBI found Maxwell only because of a delivery labeled G Max | Unsupported as a complete explanation | Unsealed records establish cellular location work; other leads may also have contributed |
| Maxwell escaped from agents | Overstated | Prosecutors said she moved into another room. She was arrested inside the property. |
| The foil wrapped phone proves sophisticated counter surveillance | Overstated | Prosecutors called the effort misguided, and investigators had already located the phone |
| The property purchase was judicially found to use trafficking proceeds | False | That proposition appeared as a Suspicious Activity Report suspicion, not a court finding |
| The 2026 sale returned money to Maxwell | Not established by the reviewed public record | Ownership, liens, expenses, legal claims, and net proceeds would need documentary tracing |
Later Marketing and Sale
The estate returned to the market in July 2025 at approximately $2.49 million. The asking price was later reduced to approximately $2.37 million. Marketing emphasized acreage, privacy, mountain views, the main timber framed residence, a secondary farmhouse, workshop space, trails, fields, and a pond. The listing did not foreground the property’s association with Maxwell’s arrest.
In March 2026, real estate reporting said the property sold for just under $2.4 million, more than twice the 2019 price. Later deed and rental reporting indicated that Granite Reality or Granite Realty was no longer the owner of record. A secondary farmhouse was then advertised for rent.
The sale price is a gross transaction figure. It does not establish who received net proceeds after commissions, taxes, mortgages, liens, legal fees, contractual obligations, or other claims. Without the closing statement and ownership records, claims that Maxwell personally profited from the sale remain unproven.
Later private owners and tenants are not part of the Epstein network merely because they acquired or occupied the land. Publication should avoid turning a historic arrest address into continuing suspicion of unrelated residents.
Why Tucked Away Matters
Tucked Away compresses several recurring features of the Epstein and Maxwell record into one property: wealth held through trusts, private banking, a newly formed title entity, aliases, professional intermediaries, high end security, physical isolation, and a gap between public visibility and practical access to resources.
The property also marks a major accountability transition. Before July 2, 2020, Maxwell had not been brought before a criminal court for the conduct later proved at trial. After the arrest, survivors could see a living defendant answer charges that Epstein’s death had prevented him from facing through trial.
The estate’s evidentiary value therefore does not depend on inventing abuse at the location. Its documented role is significant enough: it was the place where concealment ended and the federal prosecution began.
Survivor Safety and Privacy Review
This article does not name survivors merely to connect them to the arrest site. The Department of Justice credited survivors’ courage in reporting, testifying, and speaking at sentencing. Their testimony established the crimes for which Maxwell was convicted.
The property record should be presented in a way that supports that history. Photographs, floor plans, current occupants, and speculative claims about secret rooms add little unless tied to verified evidence. Unsupported sensationalism can displace the documented acts, the institutions that failed to intervene, and the people who carried the burden of disclosure.
The address is retained because it is a central public fact in a federal arrest and a released financial investigation. Current private contact details and occupant identities are excluded because they are not necessary to understand the Maxwell case.
