Chip and Joanna Gaines fans now have the chance to own their very own Fixer Upper — with the fixing-up already all done.
In season four, episode 16 of the HGTV show, Chip, 44, and Joanna, 41, transformed a nothing-from-nothing old shack into a stunning four-bedroom, two-bathroom farmhouse for the show’s executive producer, Michael Matsumoto.
But now Matsumoto and his family of six are moving and putting the Crawford, Texas house up for sale for $400,000.

Amazing: They created a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home for almost nothing on an acre of land
That’s for sure! ‘The Matsumoto farmhouse is definitely the most dramatic transformation of season 4!’ Joanna wrote on her Magnolia blog
Joanna said: ‘I loved the way this unique spin on the classic farmhouse look took well-loved details like shiplap, concrete countertops, and repurposed wood to a new level, and it perfectly fit the needs of this sweet family’
Quick move: Matsumoto, his wife, and their four kids are selling to live closer to Waco, Texas just two years after the house was completed
The house, dubbed the ‘Little Shack on the Prairie,’ was one of the biggest challenges the home renovating couple ever faced.
A piece of them: Chip, 44, and Joanna, 41, pictured with the Matsumotos, put a lot of work into the house, and their producer, Michael, said it was ‘perfect’ for his family
‘The Matsumoto farmhouse is definitely the most dramatic transformation of season 4!’ Joanna wrote on her Magnolia blog.
‘We couldn’t believe it when the Matsumotos chose this old shack to be their home.
‘The Matsumotos’ style is industrial farmhouse, so every detail of the home is a twist on traditional.
‘I loved the way this unique spin on the classic farmhouse look took well-loved details like shiplap, concrete countertops, and repurposed wood to a new level, and it perfectly fit the needs of this sweet family.’
What started as a run-down shack with decaying wood and a broken roof was soon turned into a beautiful white home with a patio, pretty shutters, and plants.
According to the realtor’s description, it has tall windows, shiplap, and bamboo floors, a kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, a waterfall island, and backyard space.
The master suite has sliding barn doors, floating shelves, and a claw foot tub, and there are garden beds, a large playset, a rock climbing wall, hanging planters, and a basketball court on the 1.02 acres of land.

‘A huge thank you to the Matsumoto family who trusted us to let us transform their shack into a beautiful family home! We hope the Matsumotos are happy here for years to come!’
