‘Little People, Big World’: Amy Roloff Delays Move into New House Due to Small Problems?
Little People, Big World star Amy Roloff had fiance Chris Marek wearing two hats recently as she’s decided to make the big push off the farm. Despite the major change in the Little People, Big World matriarch’s life, she didn’t go too far. It seems Amy purchased a new home just a stone’s throw away from the Roloff Farm.
Today you can say that Matt Roloff literally bought the farm. He purchased Amy’s holdings the place that the Little People, Big World family calls home.

That’s none other than Amy Roloff herself.

It appears Chris Marek, the man Amy recently became engaged to, had a hand in the house purchase. He put on his real estate agent hat while she looked for a new home. So during the last few months, it looks like Chris not only filled the role of Amy’s love interest, but he did double duty as her agent as well.
The house sits on 0.16 acres of land in Hillsboro, Oregon. While the dwelling is mammoth, the property is tiny compared to the 35-acre farm. Amy gives up a lot of sprawling acreage in this move. Plus, she’s leaving the home that the Little People, Big World bunch called home for years.
The famous mom has 3,767 square feet of room in her new house to ramble around in. The price ticket for this her very own Little People, Big World home of her own – $588,500. From what reports indicate, Amy Roloff closed on the property back on September 27.
The five-bedroom, four-bathroom house offers plenty of room for any of the kids or grandchildren to visit. The neighborhood where the dwelling sits, described as “quaint suburban,” keeps Amy close by to the area she’s well acquainted with.
But it also keeps her close to her new neighbors as well. Amy Roloff probably needs some time to feel comfortable with the proximity of her new neighbors. The farm awarded her lots of land between the nearest neighboring homes.

The Little People, Big World mother stands only 4-feet-2-inches tall. That’s more than a foot shorter than the average adult American woman stands, according to documented statistics.
The average size for an American adult woman is 5-foot-3.5 inches. For a man, the average size in this country is 5-foot-9. So the kitchen counters, the bathroom sinks, along with many other things people take for granted might be too tall for her.
All kinds of dwellings from homes to businesses normally call for builders to accommodate an average size person. Builders design homes with certain specs in mind, right down to the height of the toilets in the house. So buildings traditionally fit average-size adults.
