The sale of Matt Roloff's farm will leave him in debt to his ex

The sale of part of Roloff Farms has already led to plenty of family drama, but more may be on the way. To be able to own the farm outright after their divorce, Matt had to buy out his ex's share of the farm. In addition, Matt Roloff and his kids could not come to a reasonable agreement to sell some of the farms.

It's also possible that Jeremy and Zach are not on great terms already; arguing over the farm likely won't help matters.

Matt remains focused on finding a buyer who can afford the million-dollar property and listing it for sale. Matt's debt to his ex-wife Amy will resurface once the sale is complete, but will it cause more problems?

The family farm's former home and a small plot of land that make up a small portion of the farm are listed by Matt Roloff because he claims to be too old and busy to manage everything on the farm. He and Amy have bought out the farmland before; Matt became the sole owner once Amy moved away with her new husband.

While Matt tries to build a new life with his current partner, he doesn't seem to be interested in staying in the home where his children were raised. The sale of Roloff Farms, which viewers believe highlights what viewers believe is an unhealthy competition between Matt and Amy's twins, Jeremy Roloff and Zach, was already a hint that they weren't on the best terms.

Both Matt's brothers aren't happy about his decision to sell off pieces of the family farm, meaning his kids can't inherit the property in the future. While Jacob Roloff, who seems to not be around much nowadays, has seemed to keep mum about the issue, and their sister is similarly distant, his brothers have not shied away from public disclosures.

When his dad asked him to buy Roloff Farms for $4 million, Zach Roloff admits that he was unable to afford it. A $1M home was bought by Zach and his family, while a $1.5M home was purchased by Jeremy and his wife.

Zach might have been confused by the price point because Amy sold her shares to her ex-husband for a total of $1.6M; that parcel was much larger than the one Zach wanted. A former deal between Amy and Matt involved Matt buying 32 acres from his ex-spouse at an affordable price. However, the deal wasn't quite as seamless as it might have seemed.

When discussing the sale of the current 16-acre listing, Matt Roloff acknowledged that he still owed his ex a large amount of cash. Referring to the balance as a "bundle of money," Matt seemed to suggest that the land purchase from a few years ago hadn't been paid off.

Matt might not be making as much money off the current parcel as he thought, and perhaps it is the debt to Roloff's ex that is keeping Roloff from giving his sons the chance to buy the former house.

It was always clear that Matt and Amy did not see eye to eye on every issue that they discussed on Little People Big World, so when they announced their separation in 2016, fans were saddened but not shocked.

Amy revealed during their split that Matt had been cheating with Amy's now-girlfriend while he was still married to Amy, which contributed to their split. However, in a positive twist, the former spouses have remained amicable in the years since, and are now able to spend time with their four children and growing family. Matt will continue to sell off Roloff Farms piece by piece over the years, so it will be only a matter of time whether the family time will continue at Roloff Farms.
