Chad Daybell's Notorious Idaho Home Listed for $350,000: Gruesome History Shadows Sale

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

The Idaho home once owned by convicted murderer Chad Daybell has hit the market, listed at $350,000. This seemingly ordinary property in Rexburg, ID, is infamous for being the site where the remains of Daybell's two stepchildren, Joshua "JJ" Vallow, 7, and Tylee Ryan, 17, were discovered buried in the backyard in June 2020.
Daybell, recently sentenced to death for his role in the murders, left behind this four-bedroom, 1.5-bath ranch-style home, built in 1960. The home sits on just under 4 acres of land and features 1,644 square feet of living space. The property is now listed on Realtor.com, and its sale is expected to attract attention due to its notorious past.
The discovery of the children’s bodies in the backyard shocked the nation. Buried alongside the children were the Daybell family's deceased pets, a grim detail that has forever marked the property. This dark history is a significant hurdle for any potential buyer to consider.
According to property records, Daybell transferred ownership of the home to his attorney, John Prior, in 2021. This move was likely made to help defray Daybell's mounting legal costs. Now, the task of selling the property falls to Prior, who must find a buyer willing to overlook its gruesome history.
The interior of the home, as seen in available pictures, features a basic, mostly white paint scheme. The living room and kitchen show signs of wear typical of a home built in the 1960s. The kitchen includes a window over the sink and a small island, while the main living area has a tiled hearth with a TV placed in front of it, obscuring whether there's a working fireplace. There’s also space for an upright piano and two easy chairs, adding to its mid-century charm.
Despite its historical and emotional weight, the property offers significant potential. Buyers must decide whether to rehabilitate the existing structure or demolish it, a decision that echoes the fates of other homes tied to high-profile crimes.
The killings, carried out as part of a "doomsday" plot, have left a lasting impact on the community. While Daybell has been sentenced to death, the lengthy appeals process and the infrequency of executions in Idaho mean it could be years before his sentence is carried out. Meanwhile, the home where these horrific events unfolded remains a poignant reminder of the tragedy.
The listing itself lacks the usual flowery descriptions seen in real estate promotions, likely due to the property’s dark past.
