FARM RENOVATIONS
In 2020, Matt posted photos of a “new house designed with permits submitted.”
One picture revealed a luxurious modern yet rustic home with a wood-beamed ceiling, decorative stone wall, spacious glass windows and expansive outdoor patio perfect for entertaining.
Just last week, Matt revealed the “main house” where his ex-wife Amy raised their four children and lived during the divorce was being “prepped and remodeled.”
Caryn, who has been dating Matt for years, has no intention of moving into the large home vacated by his ex-wife.
On a Little People, Big World episode, Caryn told the cameras: “I would never live in the big house. Ever. Put a pin in that.”
Matt’s divorce from Amy, mother of his four children Jeremy, Zach, Molly and Jacob was finalized in May 2016 after 30 years of marriage.
'DREAM GARAGE'
A new addition to the farm is Matt’s “dream barn/garage.”
He captioned a photo of the building: “That feeling you get when you make beautiful buildings together… thanks Loranger brothers (Rick, Ray, Dan & Rocky) for another amazing build and helping me chase my vision.”
In 2021, Matt built “Grandpa’s Cabin” himself.
He captioned a photo of the finished product in February 2021: “I reveal to You all .... Grandpa’s Cabin.. Estb. 2021. Built by Matt Roloff.”
That same month, he showed off a renovated shed.
He captioned the picture: “Here’s a photo of the little shed I’m covering in reclaimed cultured stone. It’s actually a ‘Well House’ ... meaning one of the farms Well head, pumps and filters are housed in there. It’s always been a pretty ugly cinderblock structure. I just rebuilt the door with some rough sawn lumber I acquired and now we’re almost half way up the walls with the stone.”
In September 2021, Matt revealed the famous barn would be getting a “fresh coat of bright red paint.”
FEUD OVER FARM
Matt continues to be the sole owner of Roloff Farms today.
The Sun previously reported on Roloff Farms’ annual business report filed on January 11, 2022.
The filing lists Matt as both the President and Secretary of Roloff Farms.
The patriarch’s twin sons and , both 31, showed interest in taking over the farm.
Matt responded on Instagram in May 2021 when asked if Jeremy bought the farm: “No, not yet. No, we haven’t settled what we’re going to do with the farm. It’s all being discussed actively.”
Jeremy’s wife Audrey wrote on Instagram around that time, saying that not buying the farm was the “death of a dream.”
The dad of three is instead focusing his attention on flying, as he received his student pilot certificate on July 23, 2021.
He is training in a Cessna 150J fixed-wing single-engine plane worth $30,000.
Zach’s wife Tori wrote on her Instagram Story when asked about buying the farm: “Some things just don’t go according to plan. But it all worked out for us.”
