n the heart of North Carolina, a piece of cinematic history is up for grabs. Henry River Mill Village, the real-life setting that brought District 12 to life in "The Hunger Games" series, has been listed for sale at $1.95 million. This 73-acre property boasts a serene private river stretch and a fully operational Airbnb rental home, making it an irresistible haven for fans of the franchise.

    As you wander through the village's 30 residential properties, you'll feel like Katniss Everdeen, Peeta Mellark, or Gale Hawthorne, strolling through the streets where these iconic characters grew up. The village's proximity to Bakers Mountain Park, with its 189-acre forest and hiking trails, adds an extra layer of charm.

    Since "The Hunger Games" first hit theaters in 2012, Henry River Mill Village has become a magnet for tourists, generating $50,000 annually as an attraction site. The Airbnb on the property rakes in an impressive $20,000 per year from vacation rentals, making it an attractive investment opportunity.

    This former textile mill town was once home to a bustling community, complete with its own currency – doogaloos – which allowed residents to live off the land. Though the main mill burned down in 1977, leaving behind a ghost town, the village's rich history remains palpable. The property's listing highlights the two-story company store building, reservoir, and 20 mill houses that still stand today.

    As fans eagerly await the release of "Sunrise on the Reaping," the fifth installment of "The Hunger Games" series, this unique piece of cinematic real estate is sure to captivate anyone who steps foot in Henry River Mill Village. With its blend of history, natural beauty, and pop culture significance, it's an opportunity that won't be missed by those willing to take a chance on a little bit of Hollywood magic.
