The Arkansas home where Grandma Mary Duggar passed away three months ago is now up for sale, RadarOnline.com has learned.
A 911 call obtained by RadarOnline.com explained that Mary Duggar was found unconscious at her Springdale property on June 9. The call, which came in at 4:37 p.m., explained a “possible drowning” took place. Mary was later pronounced dead after emergency personnel responded to the home.
Online records viewed by RadarOnline.com show that the famed grandmother’s Springdale, Arkansas home is now on the market for $489,000. It is described as a four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath with its square feet totaling nearly 4,000. Duggar family blog Duggar Family News: Life is not all pickles and hairspray was the first to report the house listing.
According to Realtor.com, Mary’s former home features “soaring ceilings, heavy crown molding” and “many craftsman features.” The property also features a 1,600 square foot metal shop building.
Although the 911 call did not confirm where Mary drowned – the house features a pool – the coroner’s office later confirmed to PEOPLE that the grandmother of 21 did indeed die from an “accidental drowning.”
As RadarOnline.com readers know, Mary was Jim Bob and Deanna Duggar’s mother. She was 78 at the time of her death.
A local obituary showed that the Duggar family held a “celebration of life” for the famous grandmother on Monday, June 17 at the family’s place of worship, Cross Church.

“Yesterday was a very hard, yet beautiful day. The service was lovely and very honoring to my Grandma and the one she loved more than anyone or anything else, Jesus Christ!” Jill captioned the photo.
Mary Duggar’s home is not the only Duggar property currently on the market. As RadarOnline.com reported, another Arkansas property built in 1969 that is owned by the Duggars is for sale.
