Hurry, there are only about 300 of this model left! Very well constructed and most have a "country" feel about them. Bring your imagination and make this site your home. Be prepared to remain here for quite some time so do your due diligence prior to making an offer. Plenty of parking available but sorry no windows. Brought to you by "You Don't Bring Me Flowers, You Don't Sing Me Love Songs, Real Estate". Please read more below the video? In the 1960's these silos cost approximately 20 to 30 million dollars each to build. In today's dollars that would be closer to $180,000,000 Some could house three nuclear missiles which could be readied within minutes if necessary. It was a very real threat during the cold war. You can find them in remote and not so remote locations for under $300,000 now. Some have 3,000 pound blast doors, self contained power and air filtration systems along with generators and multi-ton capacity lifts and elevators. Granted you need to do a lot of work to make them liveable. If nostalgia isn't your thing and you want a new variety then please check two TV shows called "Doomsday Preppers" and "Doomsday Bunkers". They can build you a sweet little place to hunker down in when and if the time comes. Sayonara you all!

Kevin,

The good ole days, they don't make them like this anymore.  I saw an episode where someone had remodeled the silo quite nicely...Like they say in real estate there is a butt for every seat.. (yes, I cleaned it up) LOL A

Ah yes, Alexandra, pre-stressed, high PSI, 4' thick concrete walls and nuclear detonation ready.  I believe I may have seen that one also where they had painted simulated windows with an automatic day/night backlit effect.  You did keep it clean, and i thank you for that!

Hi Kevin!    OMG I enjoyed this post.    I know so many people that are hooked on those Doomsday episodes!    I do remember growing up with the "bomb shelters" in the project.   How is that for dating oneself?     Okay, so I got to bug out now!!!    :)

Carol Ann, those were the good old days weren't they?  Sing along with me duck and cover, duck and cover ♪.    I used to think that was an effective defense.  Times have certainly changed

That's the way to think Dawn, no retort pouch for your meals.  Mine has a pool, basketball court and a go cart track (electric of course).  Oh yeah, and a virtual golf course.

Funny Kevin, growing up i remember a neighbor who built a bomb shelter it cost a pretty penny & leaked when it rained!...

I was always pressed to find a dry one Ginny but they were considered de rigueur back then.  I often think if we didn't have bomb shelters that the evolution of the "deck" would've taken much longer.

Ha, Kevin, these puppies are a STEAL at $300,000 - c'mon, who doesn't need a little doomsday bunker?  (If only to have a quiet place away from the kids...)  :-)

Karen, exactly what I'm talking about.  Built well enough to keep most "kid" noises at bay?

I love it.  If it wasn't for the location I would want one.  Think of the fun you could have remodeling it!

Karen, I have to think about lawn maintenance too?  Being underground there's not a lot of trimming to do and the savings could go into a nice hydroponic garden below.  Nuclear, shmuclear!

Georgina, my guess is that there are more than a few available there.  An unlimited budget for the remodel would be helpful.  Maybe the Mega Millions winner (if any) could assist?

Marge, forgot about the Cessna, maybe a 206 instead of that 172.  Those are some great digs Marge.  Atlas sites have a lot more room to spread out in.
