Question can a motion be made and voted on that states somthing can't be sold for 5 yrs if the executive board only has seat up to three years? 

You could include a clause in the motion which says that "this property shall not be sold in less than five years except by a two-thirds (or 3/4 or whatever) vote of the members with previous notice having been given".  However, even that provision does not guarantee that it will work, as it may itself be amended or be subject to a suspension of the rules to permit an earlier sale to take place.

A properly worded Amendment to the bylaws which prohibits its own suspension or amendment would give you the most protection, but keep in mind the law of unintended consequences and the fact that situations change. Do you really want to be absolutely positively locked in to such a provision?
