eBay: 57 acre ICBM Missile Base/Silos For Sale - Cool
This would be cool to buy and renovate/convert to a home.
Excerpt from website ( http://www.themissilebase.com/ ): The Missile Base consists of 57 acres of real estate. The center secured portion of the property is protected by the original barbed-wire-topped chainlink fence. There is a paved road leading into the property with dual entry gates. Above ground is the original 40 X 100 shop building, two concrete targeting structures, two manufactured homes, two 8 X 8 X 40 storage containers, and the silo tops of the three missile silos, two antenna silos, one entry portal and a few other misc structures. Below ground is a huge complex consisting of 16 buildings and thousands of feet of connecting tunnels. The major underground structures are: Three - 160' Tall Missile Silos Three - 4 story Equipment Terminal Buildings Three - Fuel Terminal Buildings Two - 6 story Antenna Silos One Air Intake/Filtration Building One 100' diameter Control Dome Building One 125' diameter Power Dome Building One - 6 story Entry Portal Building and a few other misc buildings and areas. eBay auction: ![]() ---------------- FYI.

Check out the dimensions of some of those rooms! Amazing ceiling heights. Price seems reasonable, but I expect a full reno/resto will cost much more than the purchase price. The land alone looks great. Best, Kurt |

You pay $1,500,000 but I can't show you pictures of the inside. Okay.
I bet there's a 1957 Plymouth Belvedere in there somewhere!!!!! And we all know how that usually turns out!

It's in the barn! Seriously though, I can't believe he won't even offer tours to prospective buyers. $1.5M is a lot for sight unseen.

On the positive side you can be pretty sure this is nuke safe.
On the negative side it would be targeted for a direct strike.

NO TOURS!! Must submit offer with $10,000 earnest money deposit into escrow subject to inspection." I took that as meaning that you get to inspect if you submit an offer with a 10k deposit, pending isnpection. Makes sense, I suppose. Otherwise he'd be innundated with people who just want to see the place. It'd be a pretty cool Bat Cave

Come to Colorado, they come up for sale here all of the time on the eastern planes, some a short 20min's from Denver.

Two for sale in Kansas right now, and another in NM. Although these are a bit smaller, since they are Atlas sites instead of Titan sites.
