Newlywed Jana Duggar Shows Off $275K Nebraska Fixer-Upper After Finally Flying the Family Nest in Arkansas

Newlywed “Counting On” star Jana Duggar has finally fled the family nest at the age of 34—and she’s wasting no time in taking on her first major renovation project with husband Stephen Wissmann.

The couple, who tied the knot in a lavish ceremony on August 15, are currently in the process of revamping a fixer upper property in Nebraska in a bid to turn it into a cozy family home.

But while Jana may have moved out of her parents’ home in Arkansas, that doesn’t mean that she’s ready to go it alone. Quite the opposite in fact.

She and her husband enlisted the help of her dad Jim Bob and several of her siblings in helping them tackle what looks to be a pretty hefty demo and renovation on the $275,000 home—a process that she is now documenting on her YouTube channel.

“I’m so excited to show you all this space and share with you our renovation plans,” the former TLC star began her video. “I cannot wait to see this project come together in real life.”

Newly married, new home project

Jana, who is one of the oldest of Jim Bob and wife Michelle‘s 19 children, first revealed her plans to relocate to Nebraska with her husband in an interview with People magazine, explaining that Stephen owned a property that they were planning to renovate.

“He has a little house we bought that we’ve been fixing up and getting pulled together, and so that’s been fun,” she said at the time.

The property pales in comparison to the enormous home the Duggars featured in their series of reality shows, which began in September 2008 and ran for seven years before ultimately being canceled amid her brother Josh’s sexual assault allegations.

Still, Jana and some of her siblings remained in the spotlight for several years, with their own spinoff of the TLC show, “Counting On.”

Jana’s move away from her family home marks an important step for the 34-year-old, who, until very recently, remained closely intertwined with the lives of her parents, even as her other siblings cut their ties.

However, she is not the only member of her family to make some serious real estate moves in recent weeks.

In August, Jana’s younger sibling Joy-Anna, 26, and her husband, Austin Forsyth, put their Arkansas home on the market for $369,000, having purchased it back in 2016.

That same month, Jinger Duggar Vuolo and husband Jeremy Vuolo purchased a $1.9 million home in Newhall, CA.
