What to do if my father left me real estate with the stipulation that if I decided to sell the property I had to offer it to my sibling first at 1/5 market value?
Is there any way for me to sell this on the open market and get a fair price for the land?

This is a modified right of first refusal. It is impossible to give you an answer without reviewing the will, deed, and other relevant documents.
Therefore, you should take the deed and all relevant documents to an experienced real estate attorney in your area who also understands probate laws.
