The catch?
It's a bunker.
From Wired...
Today, retired from teaching, Peden is one of the Midwest's leading missile base brokers. So far, he's sold 48 of these forsaken sites, often selling the same site more than once when new owners become overwhelmed with the commitment needed to overhaul and live in an enormous government facility.
A second, 120-foot tunnel leads to the Peden's living space. "Not many houses have tunnels," said Peden. "We have one. We like it." Peden says that he and his wife inhabit only 6,500 square feet out of the base's 18,000 sq ft. Their two daughters grew up here but have since grown up and moved out.
The highlight of this portion of the house is the spiritual room, formerly the missile control room. Three men manned the controls 24/7 between 1961 and 1965. Now, very deliberately, it's filled with spiritual artifacts from all over the world.
Not quite my cup of tea. I'll take my living space above ground.
