Honestly, the question of where is Anna Duggar has become a bit of a national pastime for people who grew up watching the "19 Kids and Counting" saga. It’s been years since her husband, Josh Duggar, was sent away to federal prison, and for a long time, she basically vanished. Total radio silence. No Instagram updates, no TLC cameras, nothing.
But things have changed recently.
If you're looking for her on the old family compound in Tontitown, Arkansas, you're actually looking in the wrong place. For the longest time, the rumor was that she and her seven kids were living in a renovated warehouse on Jim Bob and Michelle's property. Kind of a "dorm-style" setup. But as of 2026, property records and some very specific social media clues tell a different story.

Basically, Anna has moved into a sprawling $1 million mansion in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
The move to Fayetteville
It’s not just a rumor anymore. Jim Bob Duggar reportedly purchased this property—a massive 6,318-square-foot home—using funds from a multi-million dollar real estate deal with Walmart. The house is big. We’re talking six bedrooms and nearly five bathrooms. It sits on 10 acres of land, which gives her the privacy she desperately needs.
Why Fayetteville? It’s only about 15 or 20 minutes away from the main Duggar compound in Springdale. It keeps her close to the family support system but finally gives her a front door of her own.
Her secret business: Golden Grove Pups
This is the part that actually surprised people. Anna isn't just sitting around waiting for the mail. She’s actually running a business from that new property. It’s called Golden Grove Pups.
She started a new, low-profile Instagram account for the business. Instead of posting about her personal life or Josh, she posts videos of her kids—specifically Maryella and Madyson—running around the backyard with puppies. It’s a dog-breeding operation. If you look closely at those videos, the wooden fencing and the landscaping match the real estate listing for the million-dollar Fayetteville house exactly.
The property even has a barn with horse stalls. She’s reportedly keeping horses and ducks there too. It’s a full-on homestead vibe.
Is she still with Josh?
People keep asking if she’s finally going to leave him. Honestly, all signs point to "no."
In December 2024, she was spotted at a community event and later at a school basketball game in Fayetteville. People noticed two things immediately. First, she was wearing blue jeans—a big departure from the strict "skirts only" rule of the early TLC days. Second, and more importantly, she was still wearing her wedding ring.
She’s also been seen making the trip to Texas. Josh is currently serving his 12-year sentence at FMC Seagoville, near Dallas. Reports have put her staying with her sister, Priscilla Waller, who lives about an hour away from the prison. It seems she’s committed to the "happily married" narrative, even with Josh behind bars until the early 2030s.
The current family dynamic
Raising seven kids alone is a lot. Mackynzie, the oldest, is now a teenager, while the youngest, Madyson, is a toddler who has barely known her father outside of a prison visiting room.
- Mackynzie (16)
- Michael (14)
- Marcus (12)
- Meredith (10)
- Mason (8)
- Maryella (6)
- Madyson (4)
The family is reportedly very involved in the kids' lives. Jim Bob and Michelle are seen as the primary providers, which explains the million-dollar house "gift." There's been a lot of talk about whether this house was a "bribe" to keep her from writing a tell-all book, but that’s mostly speculation from the corners of the internet like Reddit’s DuggarsSnark.
What’s next for Anna?
Don't expect a big return to TV. The "Counting On" era is dead and gone. Anna seems content to stay in the shadows of Fayetteville, breeding dogs and raising her kids under the umbrella of the Duggar family's protection.
If you want to keep tabs on her, your best bet isn't her old verified accounts. It’s the Golden Grove Pups page. It’s the only place she seems comfortable sharing even a tiny glimpse of her "new normal."
Actionable Insights:
- Check Property Records: If you're skeptical, Fayetteville real estate transfers from April 2024-2025 show the $1M purchase under Jim Bob’s legal name (James R. Duggar).
- Follow the Business: The Golden Grove Pups Instagram is the most active (though still professional) window into her current lifestyle.
- Monitor the Sentence: Josh's release date remains set for roughly 2032, meaning Anna's current living situation in Fayetteville is likely her "forever home" for the next decade.
