The "Shotgun House" appeared on season three of the show.
Homeowners who appeared on the TV show "Fixer Upper" are cashing in on the success of the HGTV program.
"Shotgun House," which appeared on a season-three episode of "Fixer Upper" in March 2016, was bought for $28,000 and renovated by cohosts Joanna and Chip Gaines, according to Curbed. The one-bedroom property in Waco, Texas, has now been put on the market for $950,000 by its owners. It's 1,050 square feet and listed with Briggs Freeman.
The Gaines have been fixing up dilapidated homes in Waco since November 2015 and now have a cult following. The show has become such a hit that it has transformed the town of Waco into a full-fledged tourist destination.
This means many of the "Fixer Upper" homeowners are renting their houses out on Airbnb and taking advantage of its popularity.
Take a look around the incredible and miniature Shotgun House:
This compact, one-bedroom home, known as "Shotgun House," appeared on season three of the TV show.
Cameron and Jessie Bell originally bought the house for $28,000. It's now being listed with Briggs Freeman for $950,000.
The house was abandoned when they found it and on a plot of land that had been sold. It was then moved to another location.
The couple currently lists the house on Airbnb for $325 a night, excluding tax and service fees.

The house has one bedroom and a queen sofa bed, sleeping four people in total.
When you walk in, you're in an open-plan living area.
There's an attached kitchen.
The master bedroom, decorated by Joanna Gaines, is behind the kitchen.
It has an attached ensuite bathroom and a laundry room with a washer and dryer next door.
To create extra living space, the Gaines added a loft, accessed by a ship-ladder staircase.

This loft area and the house's 20-foot ceilings make it feel a lot more spacious.
The loft is currently used for extra seating and office space.
There is a large outdoor area with a fire pit and seating.
It is also two blocks from the Gaines' home-goods store, known as the Magnolia Market, which has become a major tourist attraction for fans of the show.
