Does the Brown family still own Coyote Pass?
Sister Wives Fans aren’t exactly fans of Kody Brown these days — if they ever were.
In fact, people have been destroying Kody in the wake of their breakups, reality show antics, even their relationships with their children after tragic passage of his son, Garrison.
With so many changes happening to the family in recent years, some are wondering what happened to the family’s property in Coyote Pass.
Discussion of a Brown family compound on the Arizona property has been ongoing for years, but many fans and even family members are skeptical that it will ever happen.
Here is the latest known information about Coyote Pass.
Coyote Pass: Where is it and which Brown family members live there?
The Flagstaff, Arizona, property began as plots of land that accommodated several homes and is where the Browns — including and their four partners, Janelle, CristinaMeri and Robyn — planned to develop so that they could each live near each other.
The goal was to bring together the best of their lives in Utah and Las Vegas in one place.
Unfortunately, this never really came to fruition. In the span of 14 months, Kody went from having four wives to one, with Christine, Janelle, and Meri all ending their romances with him.
In 2023, during the final season of Sister Wives, fans learned through conversations with the family that the property has not yet been paid off and that several family members no longer live on the land.
Christine gave Kody and Robyn her share of the property in exchange for the value of their home when she left him in 2021.
As far as we know, Meri still has two and Janelle has four.
The latter made it clear last season that the strain of owning the property was getting to her. Fans watched as she purchased a trailer to live on the land since a house had yet to be built. In one episode, she even lashed out at Kody for putting her in that position.
“I have nothing financially. I am tied to this property. Everything, as far as my assets go. Any kind of savings, money and everything is tied to this property.”
Did ‘Sister Wives’ make up for Coyote Pass?
As of 2024, there was still money owed on the property despite efforts to pay it off. Worse, recent information from The Hollywood Reporter indicates that Kody has not yet built on the property.
Kody and Janelle jointly paid $340,000 for their Coyote Pass property, according to the Deed of Release and Full Reconversion obtained and viewed by In touch.
Additionally, another plot of land in Robyn’s name that was purchased for $170,000 has also been paid for, according to documents seen by The Sun of the USA.
The Brown family originally purchased four parcels of land in Coyote Pass in Flagstaff, Arizona, in 2018 for $820,000.
So there is still work to be done.
Will the family sell the Coyote Pass?
The answer to that question is… complicated.
According to In weekly contact, Robyn and Kody listed Their home in Flagstaff, Arizona, is for sale; they are asking $1,650,000 for the residence.
Many are sure this is a sign that the two are finally splitting up, although the divorce announcement has yet to be made.
However, in the aforementioned episode, Kody stated that he would maintain and take ownership with Robyn despite the family falling apart.
Kody takes control
Fans believed at the time that Kody had also likely put himself in charge of the family’s spending and distribution. Sister Wives funds.
It’s not just that people have seen this before (like with the Duggars), but that the Apostolic United Brethren consider it customary for men to control the family finances. (The thing about gender roles is that they fundamentally don’t make sense.)
And the Browns registered a family business in Nevada under the name Kody Brown Family Entertainment, LLC. It listed all four wives as “members.” Fans suspect this was the vehicle through which TLC paid the family.
Browns’ net worth questioned
How much did TLC pay them? Potentially tens of thousands per episode. Over 18 seasons and over 200 episodes, we’re looking at several million dollars.
Those millions were used to pay the family’s bills and expenses, and of course, to fund Kody’s big dream: Coyote Pass.
However, now that Kody is no longer married to his other three wives, he no longer has five salaries to manage, just his and Robyn’s.
There are rumors that TLC will no longer be making payments directly to Kody for all family members and that his ex-girlfriends are taking their share of the profits from the show.
And it’s likely that Kody’s exes aren’t eagerly sending him money to help with bills and such. He’s part of their past.
This could be part of the reason why Kody and Robyn may soon leave Coyote Pass. Can they really afford to stay on the property without all five of their incomes?
In related news, Janelle Brown recently put Garrison’s house up for saleWe’re sure it was a painful decision, but we hope it’s one that will give you some financial freedom.
Kody’s side hustle
In 2023, Kody and Robyn launched Dabsark Entertainment, LLC.
The name of the Flagstaff-based entertainment company is an acronym for Kody and Robyn’s initials, along with those of Dayton, Aurora, Breanna, Solomon and Ariella.
However, there is no real information as to whether the income obtained from this will be sufficient to supplement the payments needed to maintain the property.
The Future of ‘Sister Wives’
So what’s the future of Coyote Pass? Well, that will likely be determined by the future of the family’s reality show.
We will learn more about this situation as we go. newest season of Sister Wives unfolds. We can also know how many fans are left, given the current state of the family.
As we said before, Garrison Brown is dead at just 25 years old. And the new season could explore the family’s grief.
The son of Sister Wives Cast members Janelle and Kody Garrison reportedly committed suicide by shooting themselves on March 5.
Could a season 20 even happen after his death? Would the family be able to film again? And if they can’t, will they have enough income to support the upkeep of Coyote Pass?
Important questions that need to be answered by a grieving family.
