Prepper Paradise! It is certainly someone’s vision, and a truly interesting structure. That is someone’s passion and dream.

This house should be on That’s Incredible!. Lol, anybody remember that show? At first I thought it was some kind of weirdly converted indoor mall McDonald’s! $18M? I’m just a few Big Macs short unfortunately.

First thing that popped into my mind too. (And, if you haven’t seen it, you should) Outside the fact that this is 10x the size and fanciness of that underground house, it’s the same concept.
But holy moly that’s a lot of money. How much does it cost to keep it cool per month I wonder?

Nothing, probably. It’s underground!

It featured on a show on either Netflix or Hulu called like World’s most amazing homes or something like that.

In the event you need it, $18 mill might be worthwhile. If you don’t, you lose the bet. Not up my alley but obviously attractive to others. Interesting that it’s right there, under a house.

Ride out any apocalypse in style and comfort! If I had to head underground for an extended period of time, this bunker would be my first choice. It appears to have been updated now and then since it was built, though the late 1970’s vibe is still very strong. I’d really like to see photos of it when new with all original furnishings… I’d probably have liked those interiors even more. Thankfully the pink and white kitchen appears to have survived intact — it’s my favorite room and they’re all interesting! The only drawback for me (aside from the price) would be that when it came time to pop my head up from below ground after the apocalypse, I would be in post-apocalyptic Las Vegas (or what’s left of it).

I’d need a cavernous house with stalactites and stalagmites. Dramatic uplighting, an organ using stalagpipes… Wait! That’s Luray Caverns! I could buy some awesome old homes and return them to glory for $18M. I can see how this underground house would be attractive to some people. I do like the pink kitchen.

Just a cool $18 million for the ability to survive the apocalypse!
I really wonder about the mechanicals of this place. HVAC, water, electricity, sewer, etc. 1978 wasn’t the best construction era in terms of “healthy” materials like lead and asbestos. Although those things are probably not as “unhealthy” as zombies!
The stripper pole and disco ball really scream “Vegas, Baby!” 😀

I would love to tour this place, maybe spend the weekend. But my preferred end-of-the-civil-world location would be more ‘cabin in the woods’.

The shoe chair….the stripper pole…the phallic shaped swimming pool…the pink kitchen. I just want one good party at this house. ?

So surreal and I really did see a big shoe. I have never seen anything like this before.

I’m guessing that there have been some parties here… take a look at the message in the landscaping of the above-ground house! You can see it just below the house in this satellite image:

This bunker thing turned over in 2014. Here’s a brief, succinct article about that sale:

It looks like a set from some kind of strange dystopian science fiction movie. About as uncanny and unnatural as it gets.

Ok, I’m looking at this and can’t help thinking that it must have belonged to a Mafia mob boss. It should be turned into a museum. I would definitely pay to tour this amazing home.

I am a pragmatist. If there is nuclear fall-out, it may take anywhere from 3,000 to 20,000 to “get rid of” the radiation. So where are the owners going to get water and plant food?

What a crazy place. It’s all so plastic. The kitchen and bathroom look like they should be in a deluxe edition of Barbie’s Dream House!

It’s a wild place that has been featured on many a show. Pretty desolate on the outside and I think 18 million is a bit steep. Think it would make a great tourist attraction. Here is a tour.

The light or lack there of of artificial light would drive me bananas
– work 6 months of nightshift then get back to me.
Love the time capsule aspect for sure!
