Nuke-Resistant Missile Silo Complex Listed in Kansas for $380K

Published: February 5, 2022 | By: American Luxury Staff

In the autumn of 2019, the real estate market welcomed an unusual fixer-upper opportunity in Arizona that was also a warm reminder of the cold war and those quaint, simple days of US-USSR nuclear muscle-flexing and the joys of détente: a Titan II missile silo.

The Titan II silo was listed on the open market at $395K, and sold quickly; every mushroom cloud has a silver lining, after all. And so, two years later, the seller of an abandoned Atlas F missile silo in Kansas is hoping for a similar outcome. They’ve priced the underground lair outside Abilene at $380K.

Like the Titan II silo, this piece of real estate comes with a substantial chunk of land: the former was sold with 12 acres, and the latter includes 11. Its front entrance is delightfully utilitarian: a recessed design in concrete that vanishes beneath the surface of the earth. Below, the home’s two-level foyer transitions to a seven-level main living space for a missile. And in case current tensions with Russia have you more than a little worried, the complex is designed to withstand a nuclear strike.

The property also includes a 4,000 sq. ft. Quonset hut and a small outbuilding that was at some point in the last thirty years a small business.
