“Sister Wives” star Kody Brown grew emotional as he prepared to leave the Arizona house where he weathered some of the toughest moments of his life—including the death of his son and the end of three of his marriages.
Kody, 56, who shot to fame while documenting his life with multiple “wives” in the hit TLC show, and his only remaining wife, Robyn, put their property in Flagstaff, AZ, on the market in September 2024, and sold it just a few months later for $1.78 million, more than $100,000 over their original asking price.
Now, the couple’s bittersweet departure from the home has taken center stage in the newest episode of their TLC series, in which Kody is seen recounting the heartbreaking experiences he endured while living in the home, which he purchased in August 2019.
Kody’s so-called plural marriage, which once saw him living in the property with four different women, began to break down in 2021, when Christine became the first of his spouses to walk away from the relationship.
“This house had a series of sad events. First of all, I started breaking up with my family. I get Covid. Christine leaves,” he said.
Kody noted that he was also residing in the residence when he learned that his son, Garrison Brown, who he shared with former partner, Janelle, had passed away, adding: “This place has pain in it.”
The reality star admitted that the painful memories he has of his time living in the property had left both him and Robyn—the only woman to whom he has ever been legally married—itching to move on to a new abode where they can create happier times.
“I’m just excited to leave. I’m very, very excited. I feel serenity at the other place. The peace that I’ve been looking for, I think,” he said.
“We experienced a lot of heartache here. This is where my heart broke, right here. We want a new beginning. Something different, something new. So much has changed.”
Meanwhile, Robyn admitted that she fell into a “deep, deep depression” amid Kody’s breakups from his three other partners, explaining that the home holds almost as much pain for her as it does for her spouse.
“I was in a deep, deep depression in this house while the splits were happening. While the divorces were happening. Every split was happening while we were living in this house,” she said.
After Kody and Robyn made the decision to leave the home, they put it on the market for $1.65 million, having originally purchased the dwelling for $890,000 in August 2019, when they were still involved with the other three women who made up their plural marriage.
Initially, the Brown family had planned to use the property—as well as a nearby parcel of land known as Coyote Pass—to build an enormous compound with homes for all four women and their children.
All of Kody’s wives were understood to have invested money in the Flagstaff house and the land—and the ensuing financial debate that erupted in the wake of their respective breakups became the source of much tension between the group, much of which was documented in “Sister Wives.”
While the Flagstaff house was sold in November 2024, the spat over the Coyote Pass land raged on, until that parcel was also offloaded in April of this year, securing a buyer for $1.5 million.
The group made a $680,000 profit from the sale of the land, which they initially purchased in 2018.
Prior to it trading hands, Kody and Robyn owned 50% of the property, while Meri, 54, and Janelle, 55, each possessed 25%. It’s unclear exactly how much of the money from the sale each individual will get.
According to property records, one of the 2.42-acre plots, which was registered to Kody and Robyn’s name sold for an asking price of $305,000 on April 24, 2025.
Another 2.42-acre plot, which belonged to Meri and Janelle, where they shared a 50% interest each, sold for $305,000.
The third section of land, which measured 4.48 acres, sold for $400,000, while the last 5.19 acres was snapped up for $490,000.
Before selling the land, Kody vehemently denied that he was trying to avoid paying his former partners back for their fair share of the parcel, insisting in a January episode of “Sister Wives” that he had paid for “at least 92%” of the plot and therefore should be able to decide how and when it was sold.
As for the Flagstaff property, Kody and Robyn walked away with a sizable profit of close to $1 million—but have not yet revealed whether any of that money will be shared with Meri, Janelle, or Christine.
Built in 2007, the interior of the log cabin-style dwelling may be best described as “polygamist chic,” with an abundance of brick and beige, desert earth-colored walls and honey-toned wood floors.
The accent color in the spacious great room, which includes family rec space with a built-in entertainment center, a dining area big enough for the whole family, and an extensive kitchen with a butler’s pantry, is a bright ruby red.
The accent color in the primary suite is a royal purple. That room also features a large walk-in closet, a double vanity bath with raised stone sinks, and French doors leading out to a spacious private deck overlooking the pines.
Kody and Robyn have two children together, Ariella, 8, and Solomon, 12, and the rooms that appeared to have served as their bedrooms are well appointed for kids.
The spare bedroom was ideally set up to accommodate guests, or perhaps any of Robyn’s three adult children from a previous marriage.
The home’s exterior is highlighted by gracious, wraparound decks with views of the pine forests and mountains.
The property is marked by walking trails, multiple conversation and dining areas, and a flat, grassy backyard with a trampoline and umbrella-shaded picnic tables.
