I was in the AF 1971-1975, and inside of a number of these. These silos are unique for sure. If you like concrete decco. It would take atleast the asking price to refurbish one of these. Guess you could promote it as diaster shelter and pre sale spaces in case of a diaster.and give each customer an ID card. Make an great monestry,the monks could meditate without any disturbance. This diffently a small market, How lucky would you be to find a buyer at that price. Maybe a awesome cat house….LOL

I bet in 10 years you will get cancer. This is so silly. No sun no windows. Can’t see the rain or hear the wind. I rather live in my house.

It would be great to record some anti-war songs in there with that kind of reverb and the peaceful spirit of the place!

Remove the Missile Doors, add a Glass Dome and open a Hotel. Name it Bunker Palace Hotel. Name the biggest Room Dr. Strangelove Suite.

Lanh, All of the Atlas F sites in Kansas were built around the city of Salina. They are all out of the city by about 20 to 40 miles approx. There are a total of 12 Atlas F sites that were built. Unsure which site is for sale, but Salina will be the closest city of any size. You can also research this yourself just google (Atlas F missile silo), and you will get plenty of hits containing this information. If you google (Atlas missile silo coordinates) and you will get a site that that lists the exact latitude longitude of every decomissioned site in the country. It is exact as I have checked the locations around Topeka with google earth, and when you zoom in on the coordinates the silo is there. The F will be harder too see as from the air you can only see the round top of the silo, and the stairwell that leads to the launch control center. The Atlas E sites around Topeka are easier too see. There is one of those that is for sale for $285,000. Go to http://www.missilebases.com the site is ran by a guy that lives in one. Hope this helps.

Lol, graffiti. Even 172 feet below the surface is not far enough to escape the likes of 4chan.

Make it into an underground fallout shelter. You guys ever heard of the game fallout 3? Provide shelter for interested customers and their families. Who knows when the nukes start dropping. Could make a fortune with this lol.

Lanh Tran-Tu, the auction says it’s in “Central Kansas, United States”. Most likely it’s going to be at least a few dozen miles from any decent sized population center, possibly more.
