Little People, Big World: Matt Roloff Puts Farm up for Sale
Matt Roloff recently announced that he is selling a part of the family farm. Over the past 30 years, the Little People, Big World cast member has many memories on that land with his family. But it seems like he’s ready to pass it on to someone new, and it’s not Amy Roloff or one of his children.

Matt is selling 16 out of the 109 acres of land. In addition to the land, the sale includes the big house that Amy Roloff lived in after the divorce. The house has five bedrooms and six bathrooms. It also consists of the big red barn. The asking price starts at $4 million.
According to Matt, it was a difficult decision for him to make. The Little People, Big World star’s “ultimate hope” was that the entire farm would stay in his family for future generations to come. However, it didn’t work out that way. He feels that that dream isn’t meant to be.
Matt Needs Farm Money to Pay Amy Roloff Back?
Matt Roloff couldn’t split the land “legally” into multiple parcels. His twin sons, Jeremy Roloff and Zach Roloff expressed interest in the land. Both even put in an offer. But they were rejected. Fans will see the aftermath of Zach’s offer falling through in the new season.
The Little People, Big World twins decided that they couldn’t work together in a joint sale. According to Matt, Zach and Jeremy had moved on to other interests and investments. So, owning the land was no longer a part of their future plans.
However, Matt gave his boys a “substantial family discount” and a “gift of equity” if they became the family farm owners.
Amy Roloff even agreed to it. But, it seems like it wasn’t enough for the brothers to move forward with it. The TLC celeb says his sons don’t feel it was the right time for them to purchase a portion of the farm.
Matt Roloff also seems to owe Amy money still. He bought out Amy for a portion of the land. But it looks like he may not have given her all the money for it. He says he owes Amy a “bundle of money.” So, could he be selling the farm to get cash to pay her back?
Little People, Big World Celeb Ready for Retirement
Matt Roloff is already 60 years old. He says that the land is too much work for him to keep up with. He feels that his “cranky old body” can’t handle the continuing maintenance and demands of the farm. So, he had no choice but to put it up for sale.
According to the Little People, Big World castmate the decision to sell the farm was to give him the time to take steps towards his retirement goals. However, he thinks that the good news is that there are still “93 un-charted and pristine acres” of land that the family can enjoy. But will Amy Roloff ever visit the property?
