Did you spend any money on it in the last two months? Anything to which she would be entitled would be extremely minimal unless you made improvements.

And, even if they made improvements using marital funds, her rights to the property would be limited to a share of the improvement value, not the land or gifted property. If at all possible, non-marital assets (savings from before the marriage, inheritance, gift, etc) should be used for taxes, repairs, etc on the property.
