The property that Matt is trying to let go of is a portion of a 109-acre Oregon property with a 5,373-square-foot farmhouse. It was featured on the popular TLC program and listed on Luxe Forbes Global Properties for $4 million. He once shared the property with his ex-wife Amy Roloff and their children, Jeremy, Zach, Molly, and Jacob.
Matt stated when asked why he is selling the property because it’s been too long since he’d had it. Matt said he’s been creating and working with the land for almost 32 years, and it’s time to lessen his load. “Our north side is 16 beautiful acres that are ready for new owners,” Matt added.
As mentioned earlier, few people took this move lightly and started criticizing Matt.
A follower commented on one of Matt’s Instagram posts, asking him if his greed was worth giving up his children and grandchildren. The follower added, “I’m gonna pray for you Matt.”
Matt did not leave this comment unattended and said, “Quick answer. Yes! Important life lessons are hard.” This answer was not what fans were expecting and even fueled their rage. Ultimately, Matt’s choosing to sell their property over his family’s disapproval might have also been very hard for him.
It was later revealed that Zach, one of Matt’s sons, wanted to buy the property himself. He expressed his plans of acquiring the land multiple times in the episodes of Little People, Big World. However, Matt did not entertain that idea and still put the property out for listing.
Since Matt Roloff still decided to put the farm for sale instead of just negotiating with his son, it caused more ruckus and misunderstandings. Zach and his wife Tori even questioned Matt’s decision and stated that the farm is ‘no longer a place of joy.’
After all the debates and protests within the family, you may ask, did Matt Roloff sell the farm?
For now, Matt decided to turn the property into a ‘short-term vacation rental.’ It’s the same as AirBnb and emphasizes that the cost of the rent will depend on the demand and the season.
No one knows why Matt Roloff decided to pull the property off the market after being firm on his initial plan of letting it go. The Roloff farm is not for sale, and the family is starting to patch things up between them.
After announcing that their farm is off the market, Matt teased the possibility of a family reunion, which might happen on the exact property that caused chaos within them.
Matt somehow mended the cracks in his relationship with his children and is starting to realize the significance of the land they own. It might be something trivial for him, but it is evident that the property holds many memories of them as family.
As Matt Roloff decided to withdraw the ‘for sale’ sign on his farm, fans are anticipating whether the family will patch up the broken pieces of their once happy and peaceful family. Will everything turn out just fine? Who knows? We’ll need to wait for the next Little People, Big World episodes to find out.
