Yes, you read that correctly. District 12 from "The Hunger Games" is for sale -- or at least, the 72-acres in North Carolina where it was filmed. The land was acquired by "Hollywood Treasure," a SyFy reality show hosted by pop culture appraiser Joe Maddalena. He plans to put the land up for auction, and expects the property to go for more than $1.2 million.
But it certainly doesn't look like a million bucks. The site is actually an abandoned 1920s mill town called Henry River Mill Village. Of course, the real value now lies in its recent history. It served as the backdrop for District 12 in "The Hunger Games," where main character Katniss Everdeen, played by Jennifer Lawrence, lived. Maddalena will explain the auction on the show's June 5 episode, and bidding will run through July 31. Do you wish you could throw down for District 12 from "The Hunger Games"?

Never have liked the number 13, especially on Fridays.
Go with district 2, they have a nearly impregnable fortress.
I figure that if I was rich, I could renovate the insides of the homes, slap signs in the front yards saying things like "The Hob" and "Hawthorne Residence", and turn it into a vacation sight where die-hard HG fans could stay in their favorite characters' houses. I'd make a fortune.
These kinds of properties usually have allot of potential if you want to work at it.
