AN OIL HEIRESS whose family owns one of the largest ranches in Texas last month bought the Jacson,Wyo., house of novelist Warren Adler,
whose “The War of the Roses” and “Random Hearts” became Hollywood movies.

Anne Burnett Windfohr Marion, who owns the Four Sixes rances (480,000 acres in total) and Burnett Oil Co. in Fort Worth, Texas, bought the house for close to its $5 million asking price. It’s in Fairway Estates, a gated community where West Virginia Sen. Jay Rockefeller and Mars candy heir John Mars own homes.

Mr. Adler and his wife, Sunny, bought three acres of land in Jackson in 1990 and completed the 8,000-square-foot, French-country-style house on the site two years later. The Montana sandstone structure, with 360-degree views of the Grand Teton Mountains, has four bedrooms and five baths. David E. Viehman and Cindy Leinonen, of Jackson Hole Real Estate & Appraisal, had the listing.
