💰 Big Sale, Bigger Drama: Sister Wives’ “Coyote Pass” Land Finally Sells — But Who Really Walks Away With the Money? 😱

After years of tension, tears and legal threats, reality-TV star Kody Brown and his former spouses have officially sold the shady-dream-turned-nightmare property known as Coyote Pass in Flagstaff, Arizona. According to property records, the collective sale fetched $1.5 million — a profit of approximately $680,000 over the original purchase price in 2018. Yahoo+2Yahoo+2
🏡 What Is Coyote Pass?
Kody bought the land in 2018 for about $820,000, with the grand plan to build multiple homes — one for each of his then-wives, including Meri Brown, Janelle Brown, Christine Brown and his legal spouse Robyn Brown. Realtor+2The Things+2
But as marriages collapsed (Christine in 2021, Janelle and Meri shortly after), the dream dissolved — and with it came feuds over who paid for what and who owned what. Laredo Morning Times+1
