Back in the late 1950's and early 1960's when the Cold War was hot, the U.S. government built hundreds of Atlas-F missile silos (for 18 Million each in 1961) to prepare the country for an attack that never came. Today, most of these silos lie abandoned and filled with water, monuments to governments wastefulness and a bygone era. But now, thanks to two entrepreneurial cousins, one of these silos located in beautiful Adirondack State Park is finding new life as a luxury home with its own private airport. Surely one of the most unique real estate properties you could own, the missile silo home sits on 20 acres (with 85 additional acres available) of manicured grounds, forest and trails. Above ground, it features a hangar and spacious open living room and fireplace with wrap around porch. Below ground, and accessible via stairs from above ground home in what was once the launch control center, now is a two level, 2300 sq.ft., 3 bedroom 2-1/2 bath with open living area and kitchen adjoined by a spiral staircase.

'Hey there sexy, wanna come check out my missile silo'... SLAP!
I wonder if this architecture would ever catch on, just imagine an entire world with buildings underground. Granted there are some safety issues, but those can be addressed.

any known missile silo, active or other wise is a sure fire target. in nuclear war, you take no chances.

Here are the problems:
1. Silos are only cheap for a select few, most can't afford it.
2. The world isn't coming to an end.
3. Here's the fun one. Wait till the governments wants them back ha!
