Alaskan Bush People enthusiasts recently discovered that Noah Brown has departed from the iconic family homestead, opting to reside elsewhere with his wife and young son. This decision coincides with the choices made by other family members who have also decided to leave the mountain home for more comfortable living arrangements.
The pivotal moment prompting their departure dates back to August 2020 when the family faced a catastrophic event in the season finale – a wildfire threatened their alpine retreat, ultimately forcing them off the mountain. The wildfire gained national attention as it ravaged Okanogan County, Washington, for several days. Tragically, in February, the family patriarch, Billy Brown, passed away at the age of 68 following a seizure. The loss deeply affected the tight-knit wolf pack, leading to a collective sense of mourning. In honoring Billy’s legacy, family members reminisced about his pursuit of dreams, recounting how he turned his love for nature into a source of joy for all those around him. These significant events have played a role in reshaping the family’s living arrangements and have led Noah, among others, to find alternative residences away from the familiar family homestead.
What happened to Noah on the Family Homestead?
Noah took to his Instagram account, breaking the usual brevity of his captions, to provide an elaborate explanation to his followers regarding his departure from Brown Town, contrary to his father’s aspiration that all his children would continue living there. In his detailed post, the reality star clarified that the decision to move, along with his wife Rhain, was prompted by the challenges they faced after the Palmer Mountain wildfire. Importantly, he emphasized that the move was unrelated to any discord with his Alaskan Bush People siblings.
The 28-year-old shared a poignant photo of the trees surrounding his former hearth, aiming to quell speculations and set the record straight. Noah affirmed that while the mountain and North Star Ranch would forever be their home, circumstances compelled them to temporarily leave. In his caption, he disclosed, “Rhain and I personally lost everything in the Palmer mountain wildfire, so we are in a rental house until we can rebuild what we lost.” Expressing gratitude, the couple thanked their followers for prayers and well-wishes during this challenging time.
Despite their usual social media reserve, the Alaskan Bush People stars had made a significant announcement on the platform about expecting their second child, welcoming Adam in October 2021. The couple, already parents to a three-year-old son named Elijah, shared this personal milestone with their dedicated followers.
The broader Brown family faced their fair share of turmoil over the past year, with Matt Brown unveiling personal struggles and controversies about the show being a farce. Additionally, Bear Brown’s tumultuous relationship with Raiven Adams once again hit a breaking point. As the family grapples with these challenges, loyal Alaskan Bush People fans have closely followed the unfolding drama through the latest season, adding layers of complexity to the narrative.
