The Sister Wives’ infamous Flagstaff property saga has finally reached its dramatic conclusion, marking the definitive end of the Brown family’s plural marriage in Arizona. As of late 2024 and early 2025, the contentious Coyote Pass land—the 14-acre dream property that became a symbol of the family’s division—has been sold, along with Kody and Robyn Brown’s luxurious home, netting the family a significant cash injection but closing the door on their shared future.
This long-awaited resolution comes after years of financial strain, bitter arguments over building sites, and the collapse of three marriages, all of which played out on the TLC reality show. The sale not only provides a financial lifeline but also solidifies the geographical and emotional separation of the Brown family members, with the $1.5 million Coyote Pass sale price becoming the final, tangible measure of their broken dream.
The Brown Family: A Complete Biographical Profile (2025 Update)
The core cast of Sister Wives has seen significant life changes, with three of the four plural marriages ending since the move to Flagstaff. Here is an up-to-date look at the main family members:
- Kody Brown: The patriarch of the family, born January 17, 1969. Kody was raised LDS (Latter-day Saints) but later embraced polygamy. He was legally married to Meri from 1990 to 2014, and is currently legally married only to Robyn. He has 18 children in total. Kody currently resides in Flagstaff with Robyn, though his original plan for a single large home at Coyote Pass never materialized.
- Meri Brown: The first wife, born Meri Barber on January 16, 1971. Meri was legally married to Kody from 1990 until 2014, when she divorced him so he could legally marry Robyn. Meri remained spiritually married until her separation from Kody in early 2023. She has one child, Leon. Meri primarily focuses on her LuLaRoe business and her bed and breakfast, Lizzie’s Heritage Inn.
- Janelle Brown: The second wife, born May 6, 1969. Janelle entered a spiritual marriage with Kody in 1993. Known for her pragmatic and business-minded approach, Janelle was the most vocal proponent of building on the Coyote Pass property. She has six children with Kody. Janelle confirmed her separation from Kody in late 2022 and has since focused on her children and her business ventures.
- Christine Brown: The third wife, born Christine Allred on April 18, 1972. Christine entered a spiritual marriage with Kody in 1994 and has six children. She was the first wife to leave Kody, announcing her decision in November 2021 and moving back to Utah. Her move was a direct result of the family’s stagnation in Flagstaff and the lack of progress on the Coyote Pass land. She is now legally married to David Woolley.
- Robyn Brown: The fourth wife, born Robyn Sullivan on October 25, 1978. Robyn spiritually married Kody in 2010 and legally married him in 2014. She has five children (three from a previous marriage and two with Kody). Robyn and Kody are the only remaining couple in the plural marriage and continue to live in Flagstaff, Arizona.
The Final Financial Breakdown of the Coyote Pass Land Sale
The Coyote Pass property was never just land; it was the physical embodiment of the Brown family’s commitment to their plural lifestyle. Purchased in 2018 for $820,000, the 14+ acres were intended to house four separate homes, or a single massive polygamist dwelling, allowing the family to live together in close proximity.
The property was divided into four parcels, with ownership split among Kody and his wives. The years-long drama centered on who owned which parcel, the financial contributions of each wife, and Kody’s changing vision for the land. The eventual sale, confirmed in early 2025, brought in a total of approximately $1.5 million, marking a substantial profit of nearly $700,000 for the family.
Who Got What: Dividing the Coyote Pass Parcels
The final division of the sale proceeds was complex, reflecting the joint ownership of the four subdivided lots. The sale of the property was a major point of contention, particularly regarding the parcel shared by Meri and Janelle, and the land Christine had previously signed over.
- Meri and Janelle’s Shared Parcel: A 2.42-acre plot, jointly owned by Meri and Janelle (50% interest each), was sold for $305,000.
- Kody and Robyn’s Parcel: Another 2.42-acre plot, officially owned by Kody and Robyn, also sold for $305,000.
- The Remaining Parcels: The other two sections of the land, which were originally intended for the other wives, were also successfully offloaded, contributing to the total $1.5 million sale price.
The sale of the land was a necessary step for Janelle, who publicly stated that she couldn't "fully move on" from Kody until the Coyote Pass property was sold and the financial ties were severed.
Kody and Robyn’s Personal Property Moves in Flagstaff
While the Coyote Pass land represented the communal dream, Kody and Robyn’s personal residence in Flagstaff—a large mansion purchased in 2019—represented a separate financial challenge and opportunity. The couple purchased this expansive home for $890,000, incurring two hefty mortgages.
In a significant move, Kody and Robyn sold this house in November 2024. The home was listed for $1.65 million and its eventual sale provided a substantial profit, estimated to be close to $1 million. This sale, occurring shortly before or around the time of the Coyote Pass sale, signifies a complete financial restructuring for the pair.
However, the couple has not left Flagstaff entirely. They purchased a new, even more expensive home in the area for $2.1 million, which has generated speculation about their ongoing financial management and the disparity in living standards compared to the other former wives, particularly Janelle.
The True Cost of the Flagstaff Experiment and Topical Authority
The move from Las Vegas to Flagstaff, Arizona, in 2018 was intended to be a fresh start for the Brown family. Instead, it became the catalyst for the implosion of the polygamous unit. The financial decisions surrounding the Flagstaff properties—Coyote Pass and the subsequent homes purchased by the wives—were consistently fraught with tension and poor planning.
The inability to agree on the development of Coyote Pass led to years of the family living in separate, rented, or purchased homes across the city. This physical separation fostered the emotional distance that ultimately led to the dissolution of Kody’s relationships with Meri, Janelle, and Christine. The property drama, coupled with the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, provided the perfect storm for the family’s disintegration. The sale of the Coyote Pass land for $1.5 million in 2025 is the final, undeniable proof that the Brown family’s plural marriage, as it existed, is over. The money gained is a clean break, but the years of relational damage remain a high price tag on their failed Arizona experiment.
The legacy of the Flagstaff move is one of profound financial and emotional struggle. It highlighted the systemic issues within the family’s structure, particularly the unequal distribution of resources and Kody’s shifting priorities. The entire property saga serves as a compelling case study in the complexities of polygamy and family finance under the intense scrutiny of a reality television spotlight.
