End of an era! <\/span>Little People, Big World<\/span><\/i><\/a> star <\/span>Matt Roloff<\/a> <\/b>reflected on his impressive buildings on Roloff Farms just days before announcing the property is for sale \u2014 including a covered bridge and a castle for his only daughter, <\/span>Molly Roloff<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHaven\u2019t been in here for awhile [sic]. Spent 10 years building \u2018Mollys Castle\u2019,\u201d the patriarch of the Roloff family, 60, wrote on May 7 via Instagram<\/a>, while posing alongside his son <\/span>Jacob Roloff<\/b><\/a> in a carousel post of the medieval castle. \u201cGot it done just in time for her to go away to school. Lol. Oh well\u2026 next life I\u2019ll move a little quicker.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The castle, which has made cameos in the long-running series, features highly detailed stonework, chain railings, and a drawbridge. The reality TV dad also included a sketch of the original plan for the impressive building meant for his little girl to play in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Two days later, the<\/span> Against Tall Odds<\/span><\/i> author showcased the covered \u201cBridge to Nowhere<\/a>\u201d project he began in 1997. \u201cLong before #lpbw ever started.. that\u2019s old in Roloff time. I used all reclaimed barn wood that was already 100+ years old,\u201d he wrote. \u201cWhat a job getting the wood home before even starting this build.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One fan joked in the comment section of his post, \u201cSounds like you\u2019re a frustrated architect!!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHaahaa. Not so much,\u201d the father of four replied. \u201cI pretty much built whatever sounded fun to build.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While Roloff Farms<\/a> has become a major tourist destination to both international and local visitors over the years, it was a major fixer-upper when Amy Roloff<\/strong><\/a> and Matt purchased the property in 1990. Described as an \u201cold beat-up farmhouse, broken down barn and overgrown peach orchard,\u201d per the Roloff Farms website<\/a>, over the years, the family has added a pirate ship, a pumpkin patch, and even a wedding venue. Matt and Amy\u2019s four children \u2014 32-year-old twin sons <\/span>Zach Roloff<\/b><\/a> and <\/span>Jeremy Roloff<\/b><\/a>, Molly, 28, and <\/span>J<\/a>acob<\/b>, 25 \u2014 grew up playing and working on the farm and all four of them also got married on the property.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fans were shocked when the TLC star announced the sale of a portion of the farm<\/a> that included the family home and farmhouse \u2014 two structures that have been long-time staples on the show.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAll 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,\u201d he announced on May 12<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s a tiny bit scary but mostly exciting. \u2026.its time to move toward the next season of life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

While viewers sent their congratulations, some were confused on why the father didn\u2019t sell to Zach<\/a><\/span> or Jeremy \u2014 two of his sons who previously expressed interest in taking over the farm and carrying on the family business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey all had more than enough \u2026and very fair chances,\u201d Matt responded to a viewer regarding a sale to his sons in the comment section.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The upcoming season of <\/span>Little People, Big World<\/span><\/i> is set to get heated with farm negotiations and fans will have to tune in to see how it all plays out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Season 23 of Little People, Big World<\/em> premieres Tuesday, May 17 at 9 p.m. ET on TLC and Discovery+.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
