The Little People, Big World star opened up about his decision to take the property off the market with an Instagram post on Saturday.
The post showed Matt standing in front of the home that he and Amy, 60, lived in for most of their marriage with a sign that no longer reads "For Sale" and instead displays, "Coming Soon. Short Term Rental."
The TLC star explained the yard sign's meaning with the caption, writing "A few weeks ago I promised everyone a big news announcement...so here goes…"
"When I put the small side of the farm up for sale I knew large deals like that take a much longer time (i.e. 6-12 months) to complete with no guarantees."

He continued: "What I didn’t expect was how many new business partners and networking connections I would make in the process."
The 61-year-old concluded the reveal, stating "Several interested parties talked about many different business ventures such as purchasing the small farm with [a] big house to use it as a short-term rental...think AirBnB."
Matt made his intentions clear by adding, "I have decided to pull the small farm off the open market and partner with @itrip_vacations and open the@rolofffarmsto everyone and anyone who wants to spend a few nights in the Roloff family home."
In Touch Weekly has confirmed that the Roloff family patriarch has removed the $4 million sale listings from major realty websites.

An insider at Roloff Farm told The U.S. Sun that the big announcement was shared with visitors beginning last week.
Matt chatted about the exciting news during his Q&A at a book signing.
When curious fans began asking about the fate of the famous family home and land property for sale, Matt shared he had made the decision to list the home as an Airbnb rental.
Matt revealed the home is 26 weeks behind schedule from opening up to guests due to severe delays at the permit office.
The Roloff patriarch hopes the Airbnb rental will be running in full swing by next pumpkin season.
Tour guides on the farm also gushed about the exciting announcement.
As workers took fans around the perimeter of the big house, they were finally allowed to share the special update over the past week.
During the first half of the pumpkin season, they had to keep the secret under lock and key because the home's transition into an Airbnb is set to be a major storyline during the upcoming season ofLPBW, beginning November 1.
As fans passed by the home on the tour, they could see workers entering and exiting the home getting it freshened up for its future guests.
COMING HOME
As the Airbnb is underway,Jacob, 25, and his wifeIsabel, 26, havemoved into a fifth-wheel camper homeon a private property plot of land under heavy construction beside the Roloff farm.
The source exclusively told The U.S. Sun: "Jacob and Isabel are living on the farm full time. "
"They were renting a place previously, and are saving up while on the farm."
Fifth-wheel camper homes can range from $36,000 to $135,000 depending on size and amenities.
The source claims the crafty couple is also considering converting a bus into their temporary home.
Presently, it is unclear if the construction on Jacob and Isabel's private land is for a future family home for them to settle into, or if Matt's youngest son is only staying close by until the farm finds a buyer.
The source continued: "[Jacob and Isabel] are living there to save money and help out on the farm.
"The rest of the family doesn’t mind, as Matt and Caryn get along so well with them."
According to a second insider,Matt, and his girlfriendCaryn Chandler, 53, help out with the couple's babyMateo, ten months, as Jacob works on the farm and Isabel greets fans.
During weekends working on the farm,Amy keeps her distance from her ex-husband as she greets fans, and her new husbandChris Marek, 60, also helps out with Mateo.
The insider told The U.S. Sun that Isabel is generous with her time and allows all of the fans to stop, chat and meet her adorable baby boy.
During lunch breaks, Isabel heads to the farm to eat on the grass with Jacob and then takes Mateo back to the camper for his afternoon nap after the newborn's hard work greeting fans.
TheLPBWinsider also shared that Jacob works hard on the farm and does not take his father's generosity for granted.
Jacob has been busy cutting wood, running the pumpkin farm, transporting work tools around in a farm tractor, and more.
When Jacob turned 25 in January of this year, Matt passed along a prized family farm heirloom to reward his youngest son's hard work around the farm.
Fans thought Jacob inheriting Matt's bright yellow vintage car could be yet another clue he will be the son to take over the farm.
FAMILY FEUD
As Jacob has fallen onto his father's good side, his older twin brothersZachandJeremy, 32, have refused to show up during pumpkin season - the family's busiest time of year.
The father-of-four has beenfeuding with his twin sons after he was unable to come to a financial agreement over the selling of the farm.
Amy said on the season finale: “I think you went crazy or something. I don’t know the details of the negotiation with the two boys. For the price it is, the kids can’t afford that.”
Matt responded: “The good news is, there [are] 93 acres for this family.”
Amy fired back: “No, there are 93 acres for Matt Roloff. It’s not part of the family anymore.”
Jeremy has been busysettling into his new $1.5million farmwith his wifeAudrey, 31.
Although their new property is only a little over a ten-minute drive away from the Roloff farm, Jeremy has not shown up to help out during the season.
Meanwhile, Zach shocked fans early in the summer with the announcement he would not help out for the family's pumpkin season amid hisnasty feud with Matt.
The pair clashed after Zach and his wifeTori's offer to buy a portion of the family farm was declined.
