Sister Wives Kody Brown Finally Paying Off Coyote Pass
Sister Wives’ Kody Brown Reveals Plans to Pay Off Coyote Pass Land: ‘Janelle Pesters Me About It’
After years of planning and delays, Sister Wives star Kody Brown revealed plans to finally pay off the family’s Coyote Pass land.
During the Sunday, October 29 episode of Sister Wives, the Wyoming native, 54, announced the goal after revealing his second wife (and now ex), Janelle Brown, “pestered him about it.” As for Janelle, 54, she worried the property would “slip away” if it wasn’t paid off.
The Browns purchased Coyote Pass in 2018 for $820,000 with the intention of splitting the property into five parcels for Kody, his four wives and their children. The businessman originally envisioned building one large house for the family; however, wives Janelle, Christine Brown, Meri Brown and Robyn Brownquickly shut down the idea.
The family couldn’t initially start building on the property as “it had to be paid off” first and they faced delays revolving around them struggling to sell their previous Las Vegas homes and the COVID-19 pandemic.
The plans changed again in November 2021 after Christine, 51 — Kody’s third wife — announced her decision to split from the polygamous patriarch.
The mom of six officially cut all ties with Kody in July 2022 and sold her share of the family’s land back to Kody and his only legal wife, Robyn, 45. The full cash value of Christine’s portion was valued at $213,420 at the time of her sale.
In Touch later confirmed that Kody and Janelle paid off $340,000 of the property in June, according to the Deed of Release and Full Reconveyance. In addition to the plot of land in Kody and Janelle’s names, another plot in Robyn’s name that was purchased for $170,000 had also been paid, according to documents viewed by the U.S. Sun.
While none of the Brown family members currently live on Coyote Pass, Janelle previously resided in an RV parked on the land in June 2021.
“So I have something fun to share. I acted boldly and seized an adventure,” she explained via Instagram at the time. “Lots to do out here on the land so I figured why not be onsite. Honestly, I’m alternating between extreme excitement as I’ve always wanted to try this and anxiety at all the unknown variables.”
Janelle moved off the property in November 2021 and almost a year later, In Touch broke the news that Janelle split from Kody in December 2022. One month later, Kody and Meri, 52, announced their split in a joint statement on Instagram.
It’s unclear what Kody plans to do with the property as Robyn remains his only wife.
Sister Wives: How Janelle & Kody Brown Paid Off Coyote Pass
After years of fighting about their land, it seems that Kody and Janelle of Sister Wives have finally been able to pay off Coyote Pass in Arizona.
The last season of Sister Wives showed Janelle Brown losing her cool over the fact that the family hadn’t moved onto Coyote Pass, but it looks like they finally own their land. Kody Brown wasn’t prioritizing the plot of land since he had more pressing issues to deal with like Christine Brown leaving. The land was initially bought, so all four wives could have their own home with Kody, but that dream is now dead.
The polygamous family has had a tough few years, mainly because Kody decided he wanted to uproot everyone with a move to Arizona. Kody, Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn Brown moved from their Las Vegas cul-de-sac to the Arizona desert with little explanation given to their children. However, in a hopeful move, the family purchased Coyote Pass during Sister Wives season 16. Sadly, each wife became at odds over particular plots. Since 2018, Kody hasn’t decided what to do with his large piece of land.
Who Owns Coyote Pass?
Kody and his four wives own 14 acres, but the land was not split evenly into five sections. Kody once explained that the acreage didn’t matter because each plot was appraised at the same value. Recently, The Sun shared that Kody and Janelle have been able to pay off their debt on the land. The outlet revealed that the deed showed that Janelle and Robyn’s plus worth $170,000 each had been paid off. However, there was still an outstanding balance on Meri’s plot.
Who Sold Their Share of Coyote Pass?
Kody had expressed hope that Christine would sell her Arizona home and use the proceeds to pay off Coyote Pass. The mother of six had no intention of doing this as she revealed hers was the only name on the deed, so she could choose what to do with the money. However, in August 2022, Christine chose to sell back her lot to the remaining Browns. In an honorable move, she only charged Kody $10 to buy her section, saving the patriarch a lot of cash. Ultimately, she didn’t care about the money and wanted to be free.
Janelle has already shared that she would be living in her luxury RV for another summer, but her location didn’t seem to be on her parcel of Coyote Pass. Since her break-up from Kody, the Sister Wives star has spent most of her time visiting her older children living out of state. For years, Janelle fought for the family to move onto the land they bought, but now it looks like she may be moving on.
