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.

The quirky Craigslist ad says: 'Want to buy a ghost town with a bar and liquor license? Expand it into a unique getaway! Perhaps the most remote restaurant in Northern California. 12 acres.

'Seneca is the real McCoy. Historic. Very close to, or containing a historic Chinese-built gold mine. (Active gold mining today in the vicinity.) This deal includes several small buildings in various states of (dis)repair.
