Real low key and only 20 minutes to downtown Tucson?

If you’re looking for someplace different to live, and by that we mean really, really different, there’s really nothing quite like a former underground nuclear missile silo in the middle of the Arizona desert. A former Titan II missile complex, the complex is a fixer upper and ready to become one of the few homes that once stood ready to pummel America’s enemies with the destructive force of 9,000,000 tons of TNT.

My understanding on it is to say if you concentrate on a good tight aim, you will not miss.
As long as the Stargate is still functional...
Real low key and only 20 minutes to downtown Tucson?
I used to explore/vandalize old Atlas missle sites around Cheyenne WY. Great fun, they were coffin style sites where the missile was horizontal and had to be tilted up (by a gigantic erection mechanism!) to about 30 degrees for firing. The aluminium skin was not strong enough to support the weight until is was filled with fuel and pressurized, so there was a vast array of tanks, pumps, pipes, etc. Fascinating technology, and the coffin area made a great shooting range, with the old blast pit at the far end as a backstop.
One of those sites has been converted to a self-sufficient home which has been listed for sale for millions of dollars. I’m sure it cost a sizeable amount to put it in shape and create all the infrastructure because it looked about like this one in the 70s. Of course asking and getting are very different things. But it would have appeal for preppers as well as anyone looking for a place with a 20 car garage.
Nice entry too!
Well you can get a Maid that does not do Windows ,LOL
As long as you’re not allergic to rust. Not enough sandpaper in the world to bring that guy back.
But still, kinda interesting...
With the right offer, 10 people for about 35k each could purchase this 12 acre property..The zillo listing is fascinating. I figure about another 100k for power and a well. Great place for solar power too.
Do we get a working 9MT warhead and titan II missile??
And if you’re not the DIY type, just bing a couple million buck and a few friends and move right in. Once a unit opens up, of course. They’re in high demand:

I’d want assurances Russia and China took it off their target list first.

You’ll need the proper permits and license ,LOL
A little paint and who knows?
I’d like to actually own some property. Never have.
My wife might not be too wild about the place.
I could actually work on my stuff in peace and quiet.
It’s probably out of my price range.
Sandpaper? Are you kidding? The place is bullet proof. Any rust would be surface rust. It could be sandblasted in a few days.
I’d have to take out a loan but chip in with 9 other sensible people and I could share pretty well.
Concealed carry?
A freeper retreat? Get 20 people to chip in about 18k each and hit them with an offer...Lots of sun, off-roading, starry nights, 12 acres, no neighbors...And close enough to Tucson for food/beer runs...Way cool.
There could be one very big problem , the Russians might still have it on their Target List ,LOL
do they take FHA?
I think BATF would insist on a $200 “destructive device” tax stamp for the warhead.
