"Real property" is land, plus anything that happens to be attached to it. You can't sell or buy land without selling the structures attached, and you can't sell the structures without the land. (The assessor may provide separate values, but you can't sell them separately.)
If you want to sell 40 acres with a farmhouse and barn, you could divide them into two lots, and sell 39 acres separately from 1 acre with the house and barn on it. but doing that legally will likely require a number of expensive fees.
You should have an attorney to assist you any time you sell land anyway, and here it sounds like to may need an attorney to prevent the buyer from pulling a fast one. At least it deflects the blame "sorry, my attorney won't let you do that."
If I'm wrong and the buyer's plan is allowed, an attorney would confirm that too.
