I remember this for sale a while back. I wouldn't want to live in that little roundtop quanset hut. On 23 acres. That's what we have. I can't imagine fitting a large missile silo here, although we do have three silos.

I think late last year I watch documentary on a Atlas Missile site turned into Prepper's paradise.
But I was thinking it was further north than Kansas.
I do believe it was entire decommissioned Army base.

What if N Korea or whoever has an old map of all the missile locations?

just asking : stores in a horizontal position / and the missile was put into a vertical position

is this correct , i thought they were vertical looking at old pictures there size , how did they store horizontal

The missiles themselves were stores in a horizontal position in a small coffinlike area inside the silos. At launch, the concrete roof of the silo was rolled back, and the missile was put into a vertical position.

Not all missiles are ICBM's.
The ones that flip up are 'ballistic missiles', and there are a lot of them.
The property for sale is where some were.

The nuclear ICBM's are stored in vertical in-ground silos.
Most were decommissioned after the cold war ended... but not all of them.

For the U.S., many ICBM silos were closed and dismantled, while other aspects of the Nuclear Triad were toned down via the START treaty and others. This leaves the public wondering — how many ICBMs do the U.S. Air Force currently have and operate? The number is surprising, as the U.S. has 450 ICBM silos in operation 24/7.

Thanks for the reply to my comments earlier this is what i was thinking of , i think most of the world think the same as me. So 450 more to come onto the market in years to come , I would love to have one , not the rocket, although the scrap value would most probably pay for the silo

Not that I would ever consider it, but onr deal-breaker question come to mind for me. Did you notice all the water on the floor in one of the first pictures? That means MOLD. My wife is deathly allergic to mold. She wouldn't last a week. If you live undeground in Kansas you better have a world class dehumidifier running 24/7. You will be fighting mold your whole liife. What type of power does it have, and what happens if there is no power?

Could you live your whole life without sunshine? I know you can go outside, but to never see the sunshine from your house? I don't know.

Always an issue with any bug out location, how are you going to get there? JMHO, but if there was an SHTF event that was severe enough that you would need that kind of bug out location you wouldn't have a lot of warning. Where are you coming from, and how do you plan on getting there?

If you are interested in this I have a bridge in Brooklyn I would like to sell you.

The only missile silo I ever saw looked like a concrete lid on the ground surface and surrounded by a tall fence.

I had a bunker that was in MUCH better condition than this one.

Although it had a musty smell since we weren't there much to ventilate the place, there was no mold anywhere.

As it relates to sunshine, yea, it was a bit freakish if you're down there for extended periods. Mainly since your biological clock gets messed up.

Mine was under 2 miles from my house so getting there wasn't an issue.

Here's a pic of a bit of it. The underground portion was a bit over 16,000 sq/ft.
