Buy Your Very Own Colorado Ghost Town On Craigslist

KDVR

Ever dream of owning a ghost town? Now’s your chance!

The deserted town of Cabin Creek, Colorado, in rural Adams County, is now available for purchase on Craigslist,reports KDVR. “We've had so many people look it`s been amazing,” said the current owner of the town, James Johnson. The road-side village along Highway 36 is available for the tidy sum of $350,000. For that price, you’ll get an old service station, a café, an abandoned motel, and a small house.

Cabin Creek used to be a toddlin’ town, until the 1970s when the community just kind of unraveled. “There was a murder there,” explains a resident of nearby Byers. “There was some people that they took in, felt sorry for or something, and they found out the couple had money.” The killings that followed spelled the end for Cabin Creek.
