10 acres of course!
The East 1 acre of the East 1/4 of a half of a 16th would be a strip 33' wide by 1320' long. Not sure just what you do with that.

get there...
The recently constructed house doesn't even sit on the property (by my estimation)....not a biggy though, the legal scared me off so bad I turned down the job. Life's too short, let some other confused surveyor beat his head against a wall over a screwy description. :-O

I don't find it all that screwy. It's 10 acres, 330 by 1320.

Welcome to the GIS world.
DDSM:-(
Looks more like 5 acres - nominally 165' x 1320'.
If a quarter-quarter section is 40 ac, and half of that is 20, then a quarter of that is 5.

Plus the other one and four acres = ten. 
That's a stroll in the park compared to many that come my way. At least you can do a break down of the quarter section to attempt to get to what they think they were doing. Abandoned railroads and interurban tracks that haven't existed in over 80 years are where the fun begins......and ends. Usually they exhibit jungle traits with a longest possible shot with out a chain saw of about 30 feet.
Heck, I agreed to do a job today where the adjoiner has already erected no trespassing signs on the outside of his new fence that is said to be 10 feet over the line. Wouldn't be so bad out in the boonies but this is a divided single residential lot two blocks from the county courthouse and bordered on one side by U.S. Highway 59. Half of 150 is 75. 75/75 is OK. 85/65 is not. I may need to have the sheriff watching when I stroll inside the fence to set a corner of two. That way he can keep the buckshot out of my derriere and also be able to testify in court that he saw me set the bars about one minute prior to the adjoiner jerking them back out.

Turned down the chance to be the hero?
If someone traces back the history, those parcels were probably sold off to adjust the size of one of the adjacent larger ones, perhaps to accommodate an old fence or a structure built over what was later determined to be the line, and then re-adjusted for some other reason like achieving a minimum size.
The parcels are an unusual shape, but together make up 10 acres that should be useful. Of course, they may still not have the buildings on the lots.

Yessir. Much as do enjoy a good puzzle, this one made my "spider sense" tingle real bad. I think the fact that it's a shoddy "developer" that never uses a surveyor that created not only those parcels, but everything else in that quarter, is what makes me want to stay away. Looks like a good place to get in there and be "a hero" and wind up getting stuck for the bill.
I'll let you have the job for the fellow who called me a bit ago. It's only five miles or less from Okiehoma so your license could maybe stretch that far. This is one of those neighbor-hates-neighbor things. The law has already been called out a few times. The highest valued house in the metropolis might go for $15,000. The potential client had already talked to a couple other surveyors and they had given him "insane" prices. His view might be slanted because he makes less than $1000 per month. I wasn't able to provide a number that seemed to be within his financial reach. Perhaps you could lend him a hand. Here's a view of the entire metropolis, including the abandoned railroad.
Wow. At $1000 a month I bet he's the mayor.
While I appreciate the though, I'm gonna stay out of Kansas....I've got hornet nests closer to home I could poke my snoot into without driving all that way.
BTW - It doesn't look all that nasty. The abandoned RR property is partially fenced...that's a darn good POB down here in Okie-Homie!
