Nathan & Esther Purchase New Property

Some Redditors react to Esther Bates’ recent IG Stories featuring her announcement with Nathan. According to the Bringing Up Bates stars, they just bought a new property. It’s a huge empty land where they plan to build their dream house. Several Reddit users also found out that Nathan bought the 7.54-acre property in Arkansas for $380,000, and it’s under his name only. Many commenters were impressed by how well-off the married couple is, while Erin and Chad appeared to have struggled so much looking for their new home after leaving their Florida rental.

“They paid $380,000 for 7.54 acres. Interesting it’s in Nathan’s name only.”
“And they will probably build at least a $500,000 house on that land. I think Nathan is a very good pilot and has some rich clients that he flies around. You could see the money pop off the screen when he did that tour of the lounge of the Little Rock Airport. Only a pilot that has some rich clients has access to that most likely.”
“I’ve never looked into things, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Kelly-Jo doesn’t have her name on their home, and the same with some of the other girls bear in mind these people belong to a cult that sees women as worthy of pumping out babies and making sure they’re attractive and attentive to their husband’s so they don’t stray.”
“Erin’s punching the air.”
