“All of @rolofffarms has brought me and our family great joy for the past 30+ years!
“Today 16 acres of the farms 109 acres go up for sale. including our original family home and bright red barn.
“It’s a tiny bit scary but mostly exciting. It’s time to move toward the next season of life.”
He signed the message: “Soldiering on, Matt Roloff.”
PROPERTY DETAILS
According to the Wall Street Journal, Matt is asking $4 million for the Oregon farmhouse where he and Amy, raised their four children.
While the lot for sale is only a fraction of the total owned land, the 16 acres offer enough unique features to be considered its own theme park.
The main house spans about 5,400 square feet. But the rest of the property includes playgrounds built for his children.
There is a 40-foot-long pirate ship with captain’s quarters, a main deck, and bunk beds.
The land also includes a children’s play castle inspired by the grand castles of Europe and a replica of an old Western town that reportedly has everything from a bank and jail to a post office and barbershop.
POLARIZING DECISION
the reality star’s decision to sell to an outsider rather than make a deal with one of his kids is causing controversy.
Matt shares three sons, Zach, 32, Jeremy, 32, and Jacob, 25 along with daughter Molly, 28, with his ex-wife Amy.
In April, a source close to the patriarch told The Sun: “Matt would prefer Jacob and wife, Isabel, to take over the farm but he’s not sure they are on board at the moment.”
The insider continued: “He is the youngest son but Matt knows Jacob has potential, they are on the farm a lot, and Matt thinks this is a good way to teach him a lot of things he needs to learn.
“Zach has also mentioned taking over the farm, and Jeremy has said in the past he would like it.”
VIA TEXT
While fans learned about the sale through Matt’s Instagram post, his family learned of the decision in a much different way.
The latest episode of the LPBW saga on TLC showed the ongoing feud surrounding the sale of Roloff Farms.
The preview clip for next week’s episode revealed that Matt’s kids learned of his decision to put the farm up for private sale via text.
The listing of the family real estate has been a source of contention between patriarch Matt and his twin sons Zach and Jeremy.
In a confessional, Zach said: “My dad sent the information out about selling the farm. Not one family member replied to the text.
“It’s sad but I don’t think the relationship with my dad is gonna be the same,” he added.
Matt’s ex-wife and the mother of his children Amy Roloff also got upset over the sale and the resulting family fallout.

In a confessional, she added: “What we know as Roloff Farms is no more. It’s just sad.”
However, she tried to comfort her son Zach, telling him and his wife Tori: “I think once that for-sale sign goes up at the farmhouse, I think that will be closure for everybody.”
