It's the one home where curb appeal doesn't matter, quips listing agent Brian Dominic of Select Sotheby's International Realty.
He's right: At first glance, the home in upstate New York isn't anything more than a steel door in the middle of the Adirondacks. But it's below the ground that matters.
Forty feet underground is the actual residence, set in a decommissioned missile silo. A dozen or so are scattered through the country — one popped up for sale in Saranac, N.Y. in December 2011. Unlike the other silos, explains Dominic, this one remains true to its original function.

BUMP for tonight. Being underground gives me the willies, but I’ll take a look-see. :)

Because our decommissioned by operable missile silos would not be targeted for DIRECT AIRSTRIKE, right?
Sleep tight. Don't let the missiles strike.

Unless it comes complete with 500 megatons I’m not interested.

3100 square feet but only 1 BR/1 Bath? Does it even HAVE a kitchen??
Probably save a lot of money on heating and cooling . . .
Unfortunately no garage.

Sure, it’s all fun and games until Russia or China or NK pulls out an old map with a red X on top of his house.

Seller is probably relocating due to the new anti-gun laws.

You would have to come out sometime and the zombies would be waiting for you to open the hatch.
