Would you pay roughly $42,000 to live in a train caboose in the Georgia woods? If that tickles your fancy, we have just the property for you.

Yes, a train caboose built in 1976 is being offered as a riverfront residential property on an acre of land in Dahlonega, Georgia, approximately two hours and a world away from Atlanta.

And what do you get for your money? Well, to be frank, not a great deal.

“It’s full-on primitive—there are no utilities whatsoever,” said Jenna Ritter of Virtual Properties Realty Biz in an interview with Realtor.com, adding that fixer-upper fans could add electricity and drill a well. “It hasn’t been used in quite some time, so the interior would need some investment, and the price is reflective of that.”

Ritter added that was used at one time for camping and vacationing, but it has not been occupied “in quite some time – but it’s got a little loft inside of it for sleeping quarters, a little living room, and it used to have a full kitchen in it.” She envisioned a buyer with “a lot of experience transforming nontraditional structures into a residential structure.”
