Presenting what may be a doomsday prepper’s ultimate dream home – a decommissioned nuclear missile silo and bomb-proof bunker has been listed for sale in Kansas.
Formerly home to the final variant of America’s first operational intercontinental ballistic missile , the SM-65F Atlas, the silo is a true feat of engineering, with the main cylindrical underground structure burrowing more than 50 metres below terra firma.The subterranean facility also features a two-storey bunker that was originally the missile’s launch control centre and living quarters for military personnel.
With more than 110-square-metres of internal living space, the two-storey dwelling, by virtue of being a former nuclear launch facility, comes equipped with running water, electricity and a forced sewage to surface system.Realtor The entire underground facility has also been designed to withstand a direct hit from a nuclear bomb, which is definitely a unique selling point., the missile silo has a lot of potential and could tentatively be converted into a home, apartments, or even an Airbnb.
This underground, bombproof fortress could be yours for roughly the same amount as a studio apartment in Kirribilli.Mind you; the bomb silo will almost certainly need some TLC to be habitable and not look like a certifiable nightmare factory. But, with a generous budget, the new owner could find themselves with one mighty fine underground home, which also happens to be nuclear bomb-proof – a feature that even the nicest studio apartment can’t boast.
