It's property gold! Remote California mining ghost town accessed by a 'scary' road that is for sale on Craigslist for just $225,000

A mining town in California has been put up for sale on Craigslist for $225,0000 and it comes complete with a gold mine, a bar with a liquor license and even an opium den.

Seneca is a 12-acre ghost town in Plumas County and is being touted by its current owners, who bought it in 1970, as 'the real McCoy', a historic place with 'no known environmental hazards'.

For less than a quarter of a million dollars you get several small buildings, the rights to all minerals and timber from the land and a working distillery, the ad says.



Nature: Once home to a thriving community of gold miners, Seneca, formerly known as North Fork, has been slowly drying up since the post office closed for good in 1943

According to the ad: 'The public access dirt road from both north and south is one of the most scenic in the USA. The northern access is darn scary and features maybe 1000-foot drops into the gorge'

'The public access dirt road from both north and south is one of the most scenic in the USA. (The northern access is darn scary and features maybe 1000-foot drops into the gorge.

'You should be acquainted with this type of region before visiting. The southern access is easier in bad weather or wintery seasons.'



The largest gold nugget found in Seneca was reportedly 42 ounces, worth $28,000 in 1942 -- or roughly $400,000 in today’s economy, Fox News reports.
